Remind Python library
Project description
Python library to convert between Remind and iCalendar. Can be used stand alone (provided rem2ics and ics2rem tools) as well as integrated as a CalDAV client or server.
Installation
You need to have the Remind command line tool in version 03.03.01 or higher installed. For Debian/Ubuntu use:
$ sudo apt-get install remind
Using pip
$ pip install remind
This will install all Python dependencies as well.
Using python-setuptools
$ python3 setup.py install
Set up a Remind CalDAV server
Have a look at radicale-remind

Format of the Remind MSG body
%"summary at location%" description
The %" is omitted, if there is no description in the iCalendar.
Known limitations
iCalendar -> Remind
RECURRENCE-ID is not supported at the moment. This is a limitation of the used python-vobject library, see http://lists.skyhouseconsulting.com/pipermail/vobject/2009-September/000204.html.
Creating new calendars by adding includes to a main Remind file is not supported.
Remind -> iCalendar
Events are only evaluated in the given time frame, so events extending it, are cut of (birthday reminders for example).
Complex reminders are only preserved in their evaluated form (PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT, OMIT, TRIGGER, BEFORE, SKIP). Same holds true for function evaluation in MSG. For example having the age in a birthday reminder results in the same string for every year. This could result in old data being provided as the internal state (cache) is only invalidated if one of the remind files change (last time stamp).
Periodic reminders other then daily or weekly are not preserved.
Two entries with the same content are only exported once.
