hello and thank you for this report.... Are all these days observed holidays? that is to say "non-working days"?

[Skippern]

All of these mentioned are "non-working days".

When mentioning this, I was just starting to look for functions for school holidays or academic holidays as well, as I use this for bus routes, and some bus routes have foot notes like (S, Only on School days), but I guess that will have to include a whole new variable in addition to the existing.

For the RJ Dia do Comércio, I do not know the rules for it, since I do not deal directly with RJ state, but can maybe investigate into it.

I have observed deviations from the list I have posted, but this list is as far as I know all the official days, or derived from official sources.

[brunobord]

Ok, so I guess that we're going to need a brazil.py module pretty soon.
stay tuned!

[Skippern]

With a little investigation I can give you the rest of the 78 municipalities of Espírito Santo state, but it will be too much work to include all ~5500 Brazilian municipalities. Also I do not know if they will be needed any time soon. All the municipalities I have mentioned are used in my current project.

[brunobord]

a thousand miles journey starts with one step

[brunobord]

next question is: are all these holidays fixed holidays, or may they vary?
in other ways: do we have a reference document to explain how to compute these holidays?

[Skippern]

All of those I have stated with a fixed date are fixed, what I have placed as MOVING = []

Carnaval is 47 days before easter, I noticed it was already included in SaoPauloCity, you can probably move that to Brazil and use an include_carnaval statement as not all cities officially recognises it as a holiday

RJ state have a Dia do Comércio that are moving, I will need to look up definition for you.

[Skippern]

According to this link, Dia do Comércio in RJ state is on the 3rd Monday in October.

@Skippern:

I'm currently working on these Brazil calendars, as you can see, and I've got an issue with "Rio de Janeiro".
According to the following wikipedia page - https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feriados_no_Brasil#Rio_de_Janeiro there's no such holidays:

• YYYY-10-28: Dia do Funcionário Público,
• YYYY-11-20: Zumbi dos Palmares,
• YYYY-12-8: Dia de Nossa Senhora da Conceição,

Also, it looks like the "Dia do Comércio" is a holiday for shops and civil-construction workers.

1. could you confirm me that I shall include those 3 missing holidays? (and confirm me that wikipedia is wrong?)
2. Could you confirm me that I shall include the "Dia do Comércio" in the Rio de Janeiro calendar?

[brunobord]

oh, about the "Zumbi dos Palmares", it looks like it's the same as "Dia da Consciência Negra"... rephrasing my question for this one: *Which label shall I use?"

[Skippern]

My source might be incomplete, so you can include the missing days from wikipedia Zumbi and Conceição Negra is the same, though I think Rio use the term Zumbi. I am not 100% certain what term is used where Dia do Comércio was mentioned in my source, though I think it might not be observed equally by private sector and government

ah, it's the other way around: Wikipedia doesn't mention the RJ days you're providing in the issue.

[Skippern]

Would guess Wikipedia incomplete too
