When I try this:

or this:

Hi,

I'm not sure what the intended behaviour is supposed to be, but when I specify a calender on the command line, it is added to the calendars already specified in the config file, rather than replacing them.

So it's not possible to only look at a specific calender, without removing any others from the config file. When I use the import option, I notice the event is imported to the first calender I've specified in the config file, and not the one I specify with --cal in the import command.

Thanks,
Michael

Previous version (2.1, installed 28 Dec 2012) works, but current HEAD returns "Error: [gcalcli] is an invalid command" regardless of command. I know that's not very helpful; is there a way to get a more verbose error?

Any chance you could tag a numbered release?

If 2.2 was meant to be released with the changes last July, I'd recommend using d4f058d .

git tag 2.2 d4f058dfe45b9bf1136b9269170b2b7ee92b094e
git push origin 2.2

And the for the stuff being worked on now on now, maybe some tags for snapshot/dev releases?

git tag 2.3a1
git push origin 2.3a1

Honestly I just want to update the MacPort's PortFile and they didn't seem to like my idea of using git commit hashes. But looking at Debian, Ubuntu, and other distros, many are still using the 2.1 release from Google Code.

Hi,
first - thanx for Your great work! It is incredibly helpful tool.

Is it just me or is current master branch broken? I have problem with args list (agrs[0] is first line from my config file, not action as it should?).

Thank you!

There is an exception that occurs in gcalcli when importing an ics file with a recurrence and also specifying a reminder time. I poked around, hacked some code, ran some tests and learned that you can't have a gdata When object in an event that contains a Recurrence object. The following error is returned by InsertEvent():

{'status': 400, 'body': 'Entry can not contain both gd:when and gd:recurrence elements.', 'reason': 'Bad Request'}

I then tried to perform and UpdateEvent() with a newly attached When/Reminder object and the same problem occurs. Also looked into added a Reminder object to a Recurrence and that isn't possible.

Anyways, I fixed the initial exception and now only allow reminders to be tacked on to ics events being inserted that don't have a Recurrence.

Some calendars that I share with friends/family tend to use Emoji characters (see http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F300.pdf). These are correctly displayed (albeit with a light background on an otherwise dark terminal for non-standard emojis) but overlapping with the next character, rendering the beginning of calendar entries illegible (see http://cl.ly/1T0j2Z2v2i0t3J203E3Y)

Is it somehow possible to strip these characters from the text that gcalcli displays?

Old version worked, but new version of gcalcli on opensuse 12.2 generates following error.
for any command (eg gcalcli list). I changes the set default for python to utf-8 but that did not help (that was necessary in previous version).

In the README, --24hr no longer works, must use --[no]military

I was trying to figure out how to put gcalcli in a conky window on my desktop, but conky kept displaying only a small amount of the calendar and throwing errors. I discovered the default text buffer value conky uses, 256 bytes, was too small and needed increased to something on the order of 9000 via the text_buffer_size option in my conkyrc. It could save others some time by making a quick note of this in the conky section of the README.

Currently gcalcli only does quick add and doesn't use the APIs createEvent function. Quick add doesn't allow users to add notes about an event.

Perhaps some syntax like:

gcalcli -chstv add [title] [start/when] [end]

where:
-c is --content
accepts a string for event content (--content="Some special notes about this event")
-h is --html
sets the contents mime-type as HTML
-s is --status
sets the event status as confirmed=1, tentative=0, or canceled=-1
-t is --transparency
can be set to 0 or 1 (--transparency=0)
-v is --visibility
can be set to 0 or 1 (--visibility=0)

https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v1/developers_guide_php#CreatingEvents

I would like to see some traction ;-) especially content.

gcalcli should show multi-day events across each day for agenda, calw, and calm outputs.

If someone wants to give it a shot... go for it! :-)

python keyring1 provides a interface for multiple password manager such as OSXKeychain,KDEKWallet or GnomeKeyring.

I wrote a small patch for gcalcli which support usage of python-keyring

+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+

Note the incorrect start time for events "Codeforces Round #168 (Div. 2)" and "<...> (Div. 1)". I guess that the reason for this is that these events are imported from a public calendar, where they are presumably stored in UTC or some other timezone, but my home timezone is Europe/Riga (UTC+2 normally, UTC+3 during DST). Can this be fixed?

It should be possible to set a custom locale maybe via:
--locale=en_EN.UTF-8

I hard coded my locale this way:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8')

Hello,

I'm trying to use gcalcli with geektool (Mountain Lion, MBPr 2013).
With this command :
/usr/local/bin/gcalcli --nc calw 1
and with only one or all or a part of my calendars, it will only show between 6AM and 11AM, sometimes more.

I have no problem in a normal shell in OS X ( zsh)

Yann

Have you even tried to use it? You check for gcalcli and read gcalclirc:

    if os.path.exists(os.path.expanduser("%s/gcalcli" % FLAGS.configFolder)):
        if not FLAGS.includeRc:
            tmpArgv = argv + ["--flagfile=~%s/gcalclirc" % FLAGS.configFolder, ]
        else:
            tmpArgv += ["--flagfile=~%s/gcalclirc" % FLAGS.configFolder, ]

And "~%s" should be "%s".

Also, it would be nice to check for a default configFolder without having to specify it (.config/gcalcli is a good default).

Please add an option to always force https in .gcalclirc with something like:

https: true

argparse should allow more versatility so that we don't have commands (like add) where the options come before the commands themselves. Also may allow us to clean up the current initialization code.

gflags is used by the google-api module already.

When the --detail-all or --detail-descr option is used for the 'agenda' command the resulting text can be downright ugly. I'd like to see the description text indented properly, word wrapped to a specified width (even wrapped text is indented), and for extra credit optionally boxed with ascii text (i.e. '-' and '|').

It would be handy to able to delete and edit events.

Original ticket: https://code.google.com/p/gcalcli/issues/detail?id=83

The old bug #70 from the googlecode tracker is still around. The workaround still applies. Copied from the googlecode tracker (with updated line number):

My calendar setting seems to already be set to the proper time zone, "(GMT-5) Eastern" (although with the current state of daylight saving time it should be GMT-4).

It appears that the issue is that Google sends some events in local time and some events in UTC time, and gcalcli doesn't convert to local time. I fixed it by adding the following after the times are parsed on line 801:

            event.s = event.s.astimezone(tzlocal())
            event.e = event.e.astimezone(tzlocal())

This seems to work, but I don't know enough about the code to know if changes also need to be made elsewhere.

I downloaded gcalcli.py, tried 'gcalci --help' and it gives me:

File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 610
    if event['s'].year >= 2038 or event['e'].year >= 2038:
                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I tried to comment that section out (I'll probably be dead by 2038 : D) and it gives me:

File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 674
    if self.now < startDateTime or self.now > endDateTime:
                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Tried to uncomment line 674 and folowing if clause and get:

File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 686
    if dayNum < 0:
                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

so i immagine it's a problem with ";"
I've installed parsedatetime, am using archlinux (had to change the shebang to /usr/bin/env python2 since standard python is python3) and I have no gcalcli configuration

gcalcli from 'master' seems to be popular! We've easily reached the daily 10K request limit. This quota is tied to the gcalcli client application key which is in turn tied to my Google account. There are two temporary solutions and one long term solution...

Short term:

1. Increase the daily quota limit.
2. Change gcalcli so each user has to create their own client application key tied to their own Google account.

Long term:

1. Caching.

I don't like the idea of each user having to create their own client application key. This is a hassle and something you don't have to do for any other application using the various Google APIs.

Today I put in a request to Google to raise the daily quota to 1M requests per day. Hopefully this will be enough until we fully support caching. Btw, see the 'caching' branch for that work.

I originally wrote about it in #2, but the problem still exists:

When I use sys.stdout.write(msg), I get following error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 129-133: ordinal not in range(128)
Problem doesn't exist when using print msg,.
(Error caused by event called ĄĄĄĘĘ)

PS: I'm new to Python, so I have to ask - why is sys.stdout.write better than print?

I've modified gcalcli to use the colorama python library for terminal color support. This offers better cross-platform support for various OSs.

Please see the "colorama" branch and let me know if anyone has issues with this change.

Events are listed in the default time zone of its respective calendar, so if you have multiple calendars in different time zones, it will not show the times correctly with respect to each other.

e.g.
3pm Event 1 (GMT-5)
6pm Event 2 (GMT+0)

Should show (with respect to GMT):
6pm Event 2
8pm Event 1

Rather than showing:
3pm Event 1
6pm Event 2

gcalcli needs to support importing events from ics/vcal files (i.e. from Exchange) that have previously been entered and are now updated, moved, or cancelled.

I haven't looked closely at the ICS spec but I think there is a UID field in there which is used for tracking individual meetings which can be tagged onto a Google Calendar event.

Hello

After switching from LinuxMint to LinuxMint Debian Edition I've got a problem with gcalcli.
After little investigation I've founded cause (copied below).

I'll be much appreciated for any help
Best regards to all.

My error:

Hi,

I updated to the latest gcalcli version. Now I have to log into my google account in the browser, and select Allow access. But then the browser hangs indefinitely saying Waiting for localhost...

I've tried using different browsers, and I've tried googling for a solution, but I'm totally stuck. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks,
Michael

Hello,

I switch constantly from network-available environment to no-network-available-at-all environment and I would like to maintain on my screen my agenda, displayed with gcalcli and geektool.

How could I do that ?

Regards,

Yann

I'm attempting to authenticate with the --noauth_local_webserver switch. After I enter the verification code from Google, I receive the following traceback. I get that the issue is somehow related to SSL, but beyond that, I'm not sure what's going...

Are there additional dependencies which I'm missing?

Good Morning,

Problem: the location does not show up on an agenda call, either in the normal or --tsv format. I am running version 2.3.

Example: I have added an event with a location. In the online Google calendar, I can see the location, but I don't get the location when I run the gcalcli command.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Moved Temporarily

After immediately issing the same command, there is no error and the item is inserted in my calendar.

An other issue is that the date is wrong. The item is inserted for today, and not 6. september as I wrote it.

I put the line ${execi 300 gcalcli --nc agenda} into .conkyrc, and only the first line is shown, or actually only the date of the first line is shown: "Wed Jun 20".

A similar (probably related) problem occurs in the terminal when i try 'gcalcli --nc agenda > file', only the first date is streamed to the file, and i get a bunch of errors:

gcalcli needs to support caching by being able to download a specified range of events and use that cache for the various viewing mode commands used by gcalcli. This would speed up anything that uses gcalcli for visibility (i.e. scripts, conky, screen, tmux, reminders, etc) and still work in an offline mode.

Hi there, I can't find the config file. Also, how can I display my calendars without having to enter my username and password everytime?

In the Google Calendar web interface, it's possible to create events with different start and end time zones:

1. Create Event
2. Click "Time zone" link
3. Enable "Use separate start and end time zones"

I would like to specify start- and end-timezones through gcalcli. For example. the 'add' option could take '--starttime' and '--endtime' parameters with a zone specifier (e.g. "-0400", or "UTC").

Regards
Benedikt

gcalcli --help gives useful information but it would be really convenient to access this information as a man page.

The documentation implies that with the use of --cal you can specify a different calendar to add your event to. This does not work.

1. add new calendar called "playground"
2. gcalcli --cal playground quick 'kickball at 3pm'
3. event is added to your default/Personal calendar, not the one called "playground"

I've experimented with the syntax for nearly an hour with no success....

gcalcli can't add reminder when quick add event to calendar.

./gcalcli --user USERNAME --pw PASSWORD --reminder 1 quick 'test 121'
New event added: https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=cDRFwerfAzcGdFKmskdiVlisejmAoFZ0BnYWxpFSsrwraXkSDFrwerldi51YQ

I've noticed yesterday that gcalcli doesnt like calendar names like:

• someCalendar
• another.Calendar
• yet-another-Calendar

It only wanted to work with all lowercase names, like "imacalendar".
Issue showed up on ubuntu 12.04 server

Can you reproduce this error or is it just me?

It would be cool if you could (for the agenda) have a start time like "now" and an end time like "24h" or "tomorrow." Basically the same kind of functionality as seen in the Linux "date" command.

If someone wants to give it a shot... go for it! :-)

I assume currently gcalcli parses ICS/VCAL files locally then imports them into the Google Calender account? It would be great to have a feature to just output the converted ICS/VCAL information and exit, without logging into the Google account (which takes a few seconds).

I'd like to use this feature for better handling viewing ICS attachment in Mutt. Currently I use the following in my mailcap file:

text/calendar; echo q | PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 gcalcli import -v %s; copiousoutput;

It works great, but it's just slow. I know there are other scripts available I could use to do this, but it would be good to have this feature in gcalcli, since that's what I'm ultimately using to import the ICS file into my Calender, and if the code already exists to convert and display the ICS file in gcalcli, it makes sense to use that.

Thanks,
Michael

When running: 'gcalcli import CalendarEvent.ics' i get an error
some of the time (maybe 1/3 or 1/5 or 1/10 of the time), and the events are not imported. The other times i get no error, and the events are imported.

Version: gcalcli v2.2 (Eric Davis) - from debian testing
The CalendarEvent.ics file: https://gist.github.com/4279685

The error:

/x/d> gcalcli import CalendarEvent.ics

Great concept guys, I love it!

Just installed gcalcli 2.1 using apt-get on Unbuntu 12.04, running on an x86 machine with a 3.0Ghz processor and 2GB of RAM. I set up the gcalclirc file with my username and password, it connects just fine.

I can add events - "gcalcli quick 'meet joe 7pm'", and they appear in Google Calendar and on my phone!

Awesome stuff, so simple, you guys rock!

But "gcalcli agenda", "gcalcli --cals=all agenda" and "gcalcli calw" all report "No events found" (or just show nothing but the dates in calw's case), even though I added said events through gcalcli, and they are displayed correctly on Google website and on my mobile.

I've tried manually specifying times "gcalcli agenda 2pm 9pm", but I still get "No events found".

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? :-(

I thought my firewall might be disrupting something, but one "sudo ufw disable" later I'm still getting "No events found".
