My life calendar

My life calendar

Introduction

When I have first saw the my life calendar I was impressed by it. It made me think about how the time just flow without we noticing it. It is a great idea to visualize it so I have decided to make my own version of the life calendar.

Software and Libraries

This project uses Python 3.9.2 and the following libraries:

• Django
• Pandas
• Numpy
• openpyxl

More informations in requirements.txt. To create it I have used python -m pip freeze > requirements.txt. To install all Python packages written in the requirements.txt file run pip install -r requirements.txt.

Running the code

To run the application python my_life_calendar_project/manage.py runserver. The default url to connect to it is http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Results

The django application

In the home we can insert the birth date and the life expectancy. By pressing the Submit button we get a graph showing the day distribution and a table with all the days from the first day of the birth year classified as:

• light grey: days before the birth date and after the expected death date
• light pink: lived days before the current date
• light green: future days until the expected death date

By clicking the Download button is possible to download the calendar in Excel format
