This script converts an ical calendar (for instance, as exported from google calendar) into an org-mode document. It is conceived as a replacement of the awk script located here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-google-sync.html
The main difference is that ical2org.py correctly manages recurring events of "yearly", "daily" and "weekly" types. ical2org.py duplicates all recurring events falling into a specified time-frame into the exported org-document.
ical2org.py is a python script and it needs the following libraries:
- icalendar
- pytz
- tzlocal (optional)
You can install those packages as follows (thanks to Guido Van Hoecke):
Get iCalendar from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/icalendar, untar it and run (you probably will also need the "python-setuptools" package)
sudo python setup.py installGet pytz from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytz/. It comes as an egg file so you just run
sudo easy_install pytz-2013b-py2.7.eggIf you have tzlocal installed, the script will use the system
timezone. Otherwise, You should edit the script and modify the lines at the
beginning in order to specify your local timezone (line 9) and the window of
the time-frame, in days (the time-frame is relative to the current time). You
can also modify the org TAG used for specifying that an event is recurring.
