ics_parse 0.0.1

ics_parse

Parser for .ics files (ical format)

Only supports parsing VEVENT right now. (no VTODO, VJOURNAL, VFREEBUSY, VTIMEZONE, iana components, custom X-components)

• Does not support non-UTC timezones (timezones are not exposed, but could be and should be by implementing a custom SysTime timezone that's used)
• Does not support VALARM parsing (should be easy to add)

Standards: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5545

History:

• May 2022 - added support for date/datetime value type (DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220503) parsing
• June 2019 - initial version
