[icalendar-dev] How to make a now & next application with an iCal feed

[Matt Chisholm]

iCalendar is just a data-interchange format, and all the iCalendar
Python package does is translate between that format and Python
objects.  

You'll have to implement querying for the next instance of a repeating
event yourself.  (Or there might be another Python library that does
it.)
