A full-featured Python package for parsing and creating iCalendar and vCard files

Project description

Description

Parses iCalendar and vCard files into Python data structures, decoding the relevant encodings. Also serializes vobject data structures to iCalendar, vCard, or (experimentally) hCalendar unicode strings.

Requirements

Requires python 2.4 or later, dateutil (http://labix.org/python-dateutil) 1.1 or later.

Recent changes

  • Make change_tz.py compatible with python 2.4, so the entire package stays compatible

  • Fall back to default (the most recent standard) behavior if a VCARD or VCALENDAR doesn’t have a recognized VERSION

  • Fixed a bad performance bug when parsing large text bodies, thanks to Morgen Sagen at Apple

  • Changed license to Apache 2.0 from Apache 1.1

  • Worked around an issue with Apple Address Book’s vcard PHOTO parser

  • Added change_tz module and script for quickly changing event timezones for an ics file. Requires PyICU.

  • Add support for BYMONTHDAY=-1 (days before the end of the month) when setting rrules from a dateutil rrule

  • Tolerate a Ruby iCalendar library escaping semi-colons in RRULEs

  • Make vobjects pickle-able

  • Add introspection help for IPython so tab completion works with vobject’s custom __getattr__

  • Allow Outlook’s technically illegal use of commas in TZIDs

  • Allow unicode names for TZIDs

  • Worked around Lotus Notes use of underscores in names by just silently replacing with dashes

  • When allowing quoted-printable data, honor CHARSET for each line, defaulting to iso-8859-1

  • Simplified directory layout, unit tests are now available via setup.py test
