csv2ical

Converts a CSV file with event information to an iCalendar ICS file, which can be imported into Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook and etc.

Installation:

• Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Example:

sample.csv:

"Subject","Start Date","Start Time","End Date","End Time","Description","Location"
"Harry Potter birthday","1980-07-31","00:00","1980-08-01","00:00","The Chosen One","Godric's Hollow"
"Ron Weasley birthday","1980-03-01","00:00","1980-03-02","00:00","Won-Won","Ottery St Catchpole"
"Hermione Granger birthday","1979-09-19","00:00","1979-09-20","00:00","'Mione",""

An all-day event starts at midnight and ends at the midnight of the next day. Although sample.csv contains only all-day events, e.g. birthdays, any shorter events, e.g. meetings, would also work. The header row in the CSV file is for human to read and skipped by the code.
