example of creating new events with khal (hardcoded config file named test.conf)

generate_example_events.py

import khal
from khal.settings import get_config
from khal.cli import build_collection
from khal.controllers import new_from_string

from datetime import date, timedelta

today = date.today()

config = get_config('test.conf')
collection = build_collection(config, None)


collection_name = 'home'
events  = [
    ('Tomorrow 20:00 23:00 Beer with Alice and Bob', 'home', None),
    ('Monday 19:15 21:00 Calendar Interest Group', 'home', 'monthly'),
    ('Tomorrow {} Boss out of office'.format(today + timedelta(days=4)), 'work', None),
    ('12:00 13:00 Boring Meeting', 'work', None),
    ('Wednesday 19:00 21:00 python user group', 'home', None),
    ('{} {} Holiday'.format(today + timedelta(days=10), today + timedelta(days=20)), 'work', None),
    ('{} Khaliday'.format(today + timedelta(days=12)), 'work', None),
    ('2016-5-4 14:00 16:00 Super boring meeting', 'work', 'weekly'),
]

for description, collection_name, repeat in events:
    new_from_string(collection, collection_name, config, description.split(), repeat=repeat)
