Python Remind library

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 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

$ python setup.py install

Set up a Remind CalDAV server

Have a look at radicale-remind

Sync to an external iCalendar server (http; cron)

curl URL | ics2rem

Sync to an external CalDAV server

Have a look at 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 (Section: On the Network)
Google Calendar
Apple Calendar

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.

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
