Python create calendar entry - how?
 

As the title really.
Learning python and in order to progress, I have some application ideas.
One app I want to work at involves creating calendar entries. Can this be done and if so any coding examples or links to the documentation giving the format and parameters?

Re: Python create calendar entry - how?
 

You can create entries in the calendardb itself. There is the calendar-backend API, but that's C++ (and the only API I've used for this). Qt now has the mobility API, which may work. There are python bindings (apparently, found using Google) in the PySide project.

Good luck.

I believe that is unix time.

Conversion is here: http://soft.zoneo.net/Unixtime/index.php

Looks like the time zone is not part of that field, though.

I'm not a python guy, but i'm sure there's conversion functions for creating unix time entries with other date functions.
