All day events

First let's set up an attendee:

>>> from calcore import cal
>>> m = cal.StorageManager()
>>> storage = cal.MemoryStorage('storage')
>>> m.setStorage(storage)
>>> s = cal.SimpleAttendeeSource(m)
>>> martijn = s.createIndividual('martijn', 'Martijn')

Now let's create an all day event, without duration specified:

>>> from datetime import datetime, timedelta
>>> event = martijn.createEvent(
...    dtstart=datetime(2005, 4, 10),
...    duration=None,
...    status='TENTATIVE',
...    title="All day extravaganza",
...    allday=True)

This event will show up when we ask for events in the period:

>>> events = martijn.getEvents((datetime(2005, 4, 1), datetime(2005, 4, 12)))
>>> len(events)
1
>>> events = martijn.getEvents((datetime(2005, 4, 10), datetime(2005, 4, 11)))
>>> len(events)
1
>>> events[0].title
'All day extravaganza'

This event has a duration of a day:

>>> events[0].duration
datetime.timedelta(1)

It will not show up when the period is the day before or after:

>>> events = martijn.getEvents((datetime(2005, 4, 1), datetime(2005, 4, 10)))
>>> len(events)
0
>>> events = martijn.getEvents((datetime(2005, 4, 11), datetime(2005, 4, 12)))
>>> len(events)
0

We can also create an event with a duration of a day ourselves:

>>> event2 = martijn.createEvent(
...    dtstart=datetime(2005, 5, 1),
...    duration=timedelta(days=1),
...    status='TENTATIVE',
...    title="Entire day",
...    allday=True)

>>> events = martijn.getEvents((datetime(2005, 5, 1), datetime(2005, 5, 2)))
>>> len(events)
1
>>> events[0].title
'Entire day'
>>> events[0].duration
datetime.timedelta(1)

We'll also find occurrences for these events:

>>> oc = martijn.getOccurrences(
...    (datetime(2005, 4, 1), datetime(2005, 6, 1)))
>>> len(oc)
2
>>> oc.sort(lambda x, y: cmp(x.dtstart, y.dtstart))
>>> oc[0].original.title
'All day extravaganza'
>>> oc[1].original.title
'Entire day'

Let's create a 3 day event:

>>> threeday = martijn.createEvent(
...    dtstart=datetime(2006, 10, 1),
...    duration=timedelta(days=3),
...    status='TENTATIVE',
...    title="New",
...    allday=True)

We'll find its duration is indeed 3 days:

>>> threeday.duration
datetime.timedelta(3)

Let's search for this event:

>>> events = martijn.getEvents(
...     (datetime(2006, 9, 1), datetime(2006, 11, 1)))
>>> len(events)
1
>>> events[0].title
'New'

Let's create a recurrent, all day event:

>>> from calcore import recurrent
>>> event3 = martijn.createEvent(
...    dtstart=datetime(2005, 6, 5),
...    duration=timedelta(days=1),
...    status='TENTATIVE',
...    title="Sunday",
...    allday=True,
...    recurrence=recurrent.WeeklyRecurrenceRule())

We're going to find all sundays in june:

>>> oc = martijn.getOccurrences(
...    (datetime(2005, 6, 1), datetime(2005, 7, 1)))
>>> len(oc)
4
>>> oc.sort(lambda x, y: cmp(x.dtstart, y.dtstart))
>>> oc[0].dtstart
datetime.datetime(2005, 6, 5, 0, 0)
>>> oc[0].original.duration
datetime.timedelta(1)
>>> oc[1].dtstart
datetime.datetime(2005, 6, 12, 0, 0)
>>> oc[2].dtstart
datetime.datetime(2005, 6, 19, 0, 0)
>>> oc[3].dtstart
datetime.datetime(2005, 6, 26, 0, 0)
