Create and remove events to Outlook and Google calendars.
The module calendars.py has the OutlookCalendar and
GoogleCalendar classes that manage the creation and removal of
entries, given dates and the events names.
The events are hard-coded to be simple, with only start date and time and title as parameters. Other properties are hard-coded.
Outlook calendar is handled locally using a locally installed Outlook
via the win32com windows library.
Google Calendar is handled via the Google API, which must be properly
setup and the credentials saved to a local file named
credentials.json. During first use, you'll be requested to log in,
which will create a token file token.json. To get started with Google
API, refer to the Google Python
API.
The app app_cals.py is a simple example tool that creates calendar
events in both Outlook and Google, according to a school pick-up and
drop-off weekly schedule.
The main input are week numbers, so events will be created from Monday
to Fridays of those weeks, at the input time parameter titled after the
subject parameter if the input dictionary, which is simply a global list
in the app.
