[icalendar-dev] vCalendar?

This unfortunate web calendar will only export single events as
vCalendar (version 1.0) format. http://calendar.ufl.edu/ . It would be
better to write a program to grab the dates and convert them to
iCalendar format, so the web interface would not be necessary.

I've coerced iCalendar into parsing these exported events with the
attached prop.py modifications:

a. parse ISO dates with mx.DateTime.ISO
b. always return Python datetime object even from vDate because it does
not "see" datetimes in the vCalendar

but it is still useless. I wonder what is missing from these?

Could I perhaps add / modify a simple field or two, paste the event into
a normal iCalendar file, and parse it that way?

Also the package really should be submitted to pypi / Python Cheese
Shop. I could look up the necessary distutils directives if wanted.

Thanks,

Daniel Holth
