Those packages seem to be:

https://github.com/tytkal/python-hijiri-ummalqura

"an API that will give you the ability to convert Gregorian to Hijri and
hijri to Gregorian it will give you the day name in arabic and english ,
and the month name in Hijri arabic and Gregorian"

https://pypi.org/project/jdatetime/

"Jalali implementation of Python’s datetime module"

While I would be happy to see those features implemented, since it
depends on external packages, I do not think this bug should be "normal"
but rather "wishlist", as it is a "feature request". :)

I haven't found WNPP bugs for either packages either, anyone should feel
free to file those and link them to this bug when done.

Thanks for the bug report!
