@steko@scholar.social Well it's not Python but my approach with https://era.joeroe.io was to treat years as real numbers measuring the length of time elapsed since an event, with an explicit 'reference system' defining the conversion to a calendar (e.g. length of a year, epoch considered the present).

@joeroe@archaeo.social its telling that you had to write it yourself (I can't remember if it's needed for other packages you've written like stratigraph) and there's nothing else doing this thing. Do you know how it's treated in rcarbon? I have this idea that radiocarbon and dendrochronology libraries should have a common set of calendars, like the era package for R.
