Remind Python lib

# Python Remind library

Python library to convert between [Remind](http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind) and iCalendar. Can be used stand alone (provided rem2ics and ics2rem tools) as well as integrated as a CalDAV client or server.

# Installation

Uses python-setuptools: ` python setup.py install `

You need to have the remind command line tool installed as well.

## Set up a Remind CalDAV server

## Sync to an external iCalendar server (http; cron)

## Sync to an external CalDAV server

Have a look at [remind-caldav](http://github.com/jspricke/remind-caldav)

## Share your calendar using http

rem2ics > /var/www/html/my.ics

Publish the URL and use these guides to integrate it into other calendar software: - [Thunderbird/Lightning](http://mzl.la/1BsOArH) (Section: On the Network) - [Google Calendar](https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37100) - [Apple Calendar](https://support.apple.com/kb/PH11523)

## Format of the Remind MSG body

%” summary at location %” description

The %” is omitted, if there is no description in the iCalendar.

## ics_compare.py

There is a similar program in python-vobject ics_diff.py.

## 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.

### 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 for (PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT, OMIT, TRIGGER, BEFORE, SKIP).

• Periodic reminders other then daily or weekly are not preserved
