Dan,

I've done a partial calendar library, but I only did a subset (maybe even a trivial subset, don't remember) of RRULE cases. I'll dig it up and see if it has anything useful. If not, I have done quite a lot in Python, so may be able to help out with a conversion (or even a re-write based on the Python ideas). I'll take a look at the Python project and see just how complex it looks.

Are there any limits on what you need to handle ? (e.g. I think I did weekly, monthly etc., but I certainly didn't handle BYSETPOS or some of the other more obscure parts - and didn't even look into some pointers I saw about Google Calendars using some extensions).

Thanks for the replies...  Since I need to run this on a mobile device, I don't 
think installing Python is really an option.  Outside of learning a new 
language or hiring someone to convert it, looks like I'm SOL.  I'll continue to 
search for another answer.  My project requires that I list events from a 
calendar - including those that repeat.  Ug.

Greetings!

Anyone have any experience with Python? I am looking to convert some routines 
that are written in Python to LiveCode.

What I am tying to do is deal with the RRULE (Recurrence Rule) when reading a 
iCal Calendar.  I found several projects in PHP and C++ out there, but they are 
way to large and involved to be used.  But, I found a relatively small Python 
project (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyICSParser/) that looks like it would do 
just what I need.

Can this be converted?  Or maybe you have a better idea?  Or, perhaps someone 
already has some LiveCode routines to calculate the dates of an iCal event with 
a RRULE.

ANY thoughts or advice are welcome!

-Dan
