This is a trivial iCalendar aggregator. It will pull in multiple iCalendar feeds, and turn them into one. It will also generate a HTML format schedule based on these iCalendar feeds.
This was developed to deal with the fact that some conferences publish their schedule as a set of google calendars only, which becomes very much unreadable. A few minutes worth of copy/paste of python from different places solved that problem...
Configuration is simple. Create an INI-style file, and pass it on the commandline. The file should have the following contents:
[core]
timezone=US/Eastern
timezone_adjust_hours=-3
[files]
ical=testout.ics
html=testout.html
htmlheader=input.head
htmlfooter=input.foot
[rooms]
room1=http://somewhere.com/schedule1.ics
room number 2=http://elsehwere.com/schedule2.icsThe timezone parameter controls which timezone the generated HTML will be in. Any timezone valid in the pytz library should work, which should mean all the normal Unix timezone names.
The timezone_adjust_hours parameter lets you add or subtract a fixed number from the incoming iCalendar feeds, to compensate for cases when the published calendar is in the wrong timezone. The example -3 adjusts for a calendar that is published in PST when it should have been published in EST. This parameter will affect both the HTML and the iCalendar output files
For each room, just add the room name as parameter name, and the URL to the iCalendar feed as the value.
The section files controls input and output files. The parameter ical sets the output iCalendar feed, and the parameter html sets the output HTML file. The files listed in htmlheader and htmlfooter will be prepended and appended, respectively, to the HTML file before and after the actual contents.
