Maybe there is - https://github.com/LinkCareServices/period

"Period is a basic time period checking library.

Period is based on period.py by William S. Annis. (available at 
https://www.biostat.wisc.edu/~annis/creations/period.py.html) and ported 
to python3 with a few improvements. Period.py was in part inspired by 
perl's Time::Period module and the time class mechanism of Cfengine."

I have not worked with it, but it may be worth looking at.  I found this 
by going to PyPi.org and asking for "period".
