Subject: [icalendar-dev] Generating a report from KTimeTracker data
Message-ID: <201109291510.22196.phma@phma.optus.nu>

I have a KTimeTracker file with data in iCalendar format of my time spent 
working on various jobs. I'd like to write a report. So I installed the 
package (version 2.1 for Python 2.6) and start writing. So far I have this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from datetime import datetime
from icalendar import UTC,Calendar,Event
cal=Calendar.from_string(open("/home/phma/.kde/share/apps/ktimetracker/ktimetracker.ics","rb").read())
cal
for component in cal.walk():
   if (component.name=="VEVENT"):
      start=component["DTSTART"]
      end=component["DTEND"]
      print component["SUMMARY"],start,end
      for eventpart in component.walk():
         print eventpart

I ran it and got a long stream of paragraphs like this:

bda 20110928T151930 20110928T164513Z
BEGIN:VEVENT
CATEGORIES:KTimeTracker
CREATED:20110928T191930Z
DTEND:20110928T164513Z
DTSTAMP:20110928T235906Z
DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20110928T151930
LAST-MODIFIED:20110928T204514Z
RELATED-TO:libkcal-257423038.359
SUMMARY:bda
TRANSP:OPAQUE
UID:libkcal-1423565012.623
END:VEVENT

Next problems I have are:
*start and end are of type "instance", not "datetime". How do I get them into 
a datetime?
*The time zone of DTEND of this record is wrong. It should be EDT like 
DTSTART. I need to convert everything to UTC, since the data were recorded on 
two computers, and the other one used UTC.
