Recurrent Events

Storage:

>>> from calcore import cal
>>> m = cal.StorageManager()
>>> m.setStorage(cal.MemoryStorage('storage'))

Making some attendees:

>>> s = cal.SimpleAttendeeSource(m)
>>> martijn = s.createIndividual('martijn', 'Martijn')
>>> lennart = s.createIndividual('lennart', 'Lennart')

Creating a normal event:

>>> from datetime import datetime, date, timedelta
>>> event_a = martijn.createEvent(
...   dtstart=datetime(2005, 3, 2, 16, 00),
...   duration=timedelta(minutes=60),
...   title='An event')

Now creating a recurrent event, daily:

>>> from calcore import recurrent
>>> rule = recurrent.DailyRecurrenceRule(until=date(2005, 3, 31))
>>> event_r = martijn.createEvent(
...   dtstart=datetime(2005, 3, 1, 15, 00),
...   duration=timedelta(minutes=60),
...   title='Recurrent event',
...   recurrence=rule)
>>> march = (datetime(2005, 3, 1), datetime(2005, 4, 1))

First, we'll take all events for March, not letting the recurrence rule activate. We just expect two events:

>>> events = martijn.getEvents(march)
>>> len(events)
2

Now we grab all occurrences of an event for March. We expect 32; one for our non-recurrent event, and 31 more for each day for the daily recurrent event:

>>> occurrences = martijn.getOccurrences(march)
>>> len(occurrences)
32

We expect an occurrence each day:

>>> result = []
>>> for i in range(1, 32):
...    day = (datetime(2005, 3, i), datetime(2005, 3, i) + timedelta(days=1))
...    day_occurrences = martijn.getOccurrences(day)
...    result.append(len(day_occurrences))
>>> result
[1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]

Let's try a weekly recurring event for April:

>>> april = (datetime(2005, 4, 1), datetime(2005, 5, 1))
>>> rule = recurrent.WeeklyRecurrenceRule(until=date(2005, 5, 1))
>>> event_r = martijn.createEvent(
...   dtstart=datetime(2005, 4, 3, 15, 00),
...   duration=timedelta(minutes=30),
...   title='Recurrent event (2)',
...   recurrence=rule)
>>> result = []
>>> for i in range(1, 31):
...    day = (datetime(2005, 4, i), datetime(2005, 4, i) + timedelta(days=1))
...    day_occurrences = martijn.getOccurrences(day)
...    result.append(len(day_occurrences))
>>> result
[0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
