Converting Python

[Alex Tweedly]

Dan,

I've done a partial calendar library, but I only did a subset (maybe 
even a trivial subset, don't remember) of RRULE cases. I'll dig it up 
and see if it has anything useful. If not, I have done quite a lot in 
Python, so may be able to help out with a conversion (or even a re-write 
based on the Python ideas).  I'll take a look at the Python project and 
see just how complex it looks.

Are there any limits on what you need to handle ?  (e.g. I think I did 
weekly, monthly etc., but I certainly didn't handle BYSETPOS or some of 
the other more obscure parts - and didn't even look into some pointers I 
saw about Google Calendars using some extensions).

Outside of learning a new language or hiring someone to convert it, looks like I'm SOL.  I'll continue to search for another answer.  My project requires that I list events from a calendar - including those that repeat.  Ug.
