Some calendar creators such as Google Calendar
introduce the non-standard ``X-WR-TIMEZONE`` parameter
to ICS calendar files to change the timezone.
Strict interpretations according to RFC 5545 ignore the ``X-WR-TIMEZONE``
parameter.
This causes the times of the events to differ from those
which make use of ``X-WR-TIMEZONE``.
This module aims to bridge the gap by converting calendars
using ``X-WR-TIMEZONE`` to a strict RFC 5545 calendars.
So, let's put our heads together and solve this problem for everyone!
Some features of the module are:
- Easy install with Python's ``pip``.
- Command line conversion of calendars.
- Piping of calendar files with ``wget`` or ``curl``.
Some of the requirements are:
- Calendars without ``X-WR-TIMEZONE`` are kept unchanged.
- Passing calendars twice to this module does not change them.
Install
-------
Install using ``pip``:
.. code:: shell
python3 -m pip install x-wr-timezone
Install with ``apt``:
.. code:: shell
sudo apt-get install python-x-wr-timezone
Support

- `Donate using GitHub Sponsors <https://github.com/sponsors/niccokunzmann>`_
- `Donate using Open Collective <https://opencollective.com/open-web-calendar/>`_
- `Donate using thanks.dev <https://thanks.dev>`_
Command Line Usage
------------------
You can standardize the calendars using your command line interface.
The examples assume that ``in.ics`` is a calendar which may use
``X-WR-TIMEZONE``, whereas ``out.ics`` does not require ``X-WR-TIMEZONE``
for proper display.
.. code-block:: shell
cat in.is | x-wr-timezone > out.ics
x-wr-timezone in.ics out.ics
curl https://example.org/in.ics | x-wr-timezone > out.ics
wget -O- https://example.org/in.ics | x-wr-timezone > out.ics
You can get usage help on the command line:
.. code-block:: shell
x-wr-timezone --help
Python
------
After you have installed the library, you can import it.
.. code:: python
import x_wr_timezone
The function ``to_standard()`` converts an `icalendar.Calendar
<https://icalendar.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#icalendar.cal.Calendar>`_.
.. code:: python
x_wr_timezone.to_standard(an_icalendar)
Here is a full example which does about as much as this module is supposed to do:
.. code-block:: python
import icalendar # installed with x_wr_timezone
import x_wr_timezone
with open("in.ics", 'rb') as file:
calendar = icalendar.from_ical(file.read())
new_calendar = x_wr_timezone.to_standard(calendar)
# you could use the new_calendar variable now
with open('out.ics', 'wb') as file:
file.write(new_calendar.to_ical())
``to_standard(calendar, timezone=None)`` has these parameters:
- ``calendar`` is the ``icalendar.Calendar`` object.
- ``timezone`` is an optional time zone. By default, the time zone in
``calendar['X-WR-TIMEZONE']`` is used to check if the calendar needs
changing.
When ``timezone`` is not ``None`` however, ``calendar['X-WR-TIMEZONE']``
will not be tested and it is assumed that the ``calendar`` should be
changed as if ``calendar['X-WR-TIMEZONE']`` had the value of ``timezone``.
This does not add or change the value of ``calendar['X-WR-TIMEZONE']``.
You would need to do that yourself.
``timezone`` can be a string like ``"UTC"`` or ``"Europe/Berlin"`` or
a ``pytz.timezone`` or something that ``datetime`` accepts as a time zone..
- Return value: The ``calendar`` argument is not modified at all. The calendar
returned has the attributes and subcomponents of the ``calendar`` only
changed and copied where needed to return the proper value. As such,
the returned calendar might be identical to the one passed to the
function as the ``calendar`` argument. Keep that in mind if you modify the
return value.
Development
-----------
1. Clone the `repository <https://github.com/niccokunzmann/x-wr-timezone>`_ or its fork and ``cd x-wr-timezone``.
2. Optional: Install virtualenv and Python3 and create a virtual environment:
.. code-block:: shell
pip install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 ENV
source ENV/bin/activate # you need to do this for each shell
3. Install the packages and this module so it can be edited:
.. code-block:: shell
pip install -r test-requirements.txt -e .
4. Run the tests:
.. code-block:: shell
pytest
To test all functions:
.. code-block:: shell
pytest --x-wr-timezone all
Testing with ``tox``
********************
You can use ``tox`` to test the package in different Python versions.
.. code:: shell
tox
This tests all the different functionalities:
.. code:: shell
tox -- --x-wr-timezone all
New Releases
------------
To release new versions,
1. edit the Changelog Section
2. edit setup.py, the ``__version__`` variable
3. create a commit and push it
4. Wait for `CI tests <https://github.com/niccokunzmann/x-wr-timezone/actions/workflows/tests.yml>`_ to finish the build.
5. run
.. code-block:: shell
python3 setup.py tag_and_deploy
6. notify the issues about their release
Add/Remove a Python Version
---------------------------
If you need to add or remove a Python version, you need to modify these files:
- ... README.rst in the changelog section
- ... setup.py
- ... tox.ini
- ... tests.yml
Testing
*******
This project's development is driven by tests.
Tests assure a consistent interface and less knowledge lost over time.
If you like to change the code, tests help that nothing breaks in the future.
They are required in that sense.
Example code and ics files can be transferred into tests and speed up fixing bugs.
You can view the tests in the `test folder
<https://github.com/niccokunzmann/x-wr-timezones/tree/main/test>`_.
If you have a calendar ICS file for which this library does not
generate the desired output, you can add it to the ``test/calendars``
folder and write tests for what you expect.
If you like, `open an issue <https://github.com/niccokunzmann/x-wr-timezone/issues>`_ first, e.g. to discuss the changes and
how to go about it.
