I get an immediate exception upon selecting Import vCalendar:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/vic/Projects/bitpim/gui.py", line 445, in __call__
return self.func(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
File "/Users/vic/Projects/bitpim/importexport.py", line 1649, in
OnFileImportVCal
import vcal_calendar
File "/Users/vic/Projects/bitpim/vcal_calendar.py", line 17, in ?
import outlook_calendar
File "/Users/vic/Projects/bitpim/outlook_calendar.py", line 13, in ?
import pywintypes
ImportError: No module named pywintypes

Since when does "Import vCalendar" imply anything about outlook? If I
hit continue and try again I get this one:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/vic/Projects/bitpim/gui.py", line 445, in __call__
return self.func(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
File "/Users/vic/Projects/bitpim/importexport.py", line 1650, in
OnFileImportVCal
dlg=vcal_calendar.VcalImportCalDialog(parent, -1, 'Import
vCalendar')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VcalImportCalDialog'

On my Mac I assumed I would be able to import my iCal data files
(default path ~/Library/Calendars/variousNames.ics) since they
apparently conform to vCalendar 2.0 specs. I of course do not have
Outlook. I do have something called Entourage which is probably similar
and which apparently stores its calendar info, along with addressbook
and mailnotes in one big file called "/Users/vic/Documents/Microsoft
User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Vic/Database". (Which sux but I don't
use Entourage anyway. It came as part of Office, which I also wouldn't
use had I not had to purchase a 3-license copy for my two college kids.)

Vic, thanks for the report. It did not occur to me about the interdependencies between the Outlook module & the vCalendar module. I'd have to split them out.

Vic, I just committed the latest changes which removed the Outlook dependencies from vCalendar, please give it another try. Note that this is vCal (v1.0), not iCal which is next on my list.

Fails on import of vCal 1.0 file output from Palm desktop. I have
attached exception and the vcal file. - Vic

Go for it Vic. And thanks for the testing.

Seems that it now fails if an event entry has no CATEGORIES: field.

Thanks Vic. According to the spec, the CATEGORIES field is mandated; however, I'll make provision for its absent (and probably other "mandated" fields too).

Thanks Vic. According to the spec, the CATEGORIES field is mandated;

"mandated" fields too).

The Palm Desktop 4.2.1 app allows categories to be set to "none" in
which case when exported as vCal that entry has no field. Also the Mac
OS iCal app doesn't seem to allow for Categories at all, so no entries
have a categories field in these vcal 2.0 files.

Hopefully, it'd be a tad more difficult to break this time.

I suggest you make a file in the same style and spirit as
examples/vcards.vcf. That will serve several purposes:

- As a test for the code
- As a source for events when making screenshots
- Something for people to work with when writing
phone modules (it will exercise mapping fields to
the phone and back)

I have attached Evolution's idea of a vcal as well as Apple's
idea of an ical.

OK the latest version handled all my PalmDesktop entries. One comment:
your message still says it is "Importing Outlook Data" when Outlook was
never part of the process at all.

Good suggestion! I'll come up with one for the vCal format. Your examples are in iCal format.

The Apple one definitely is. The Evolution one implied it
was vcal. Will you be able to handle both formats with
the same code entry point (ie users won't have to know
which flavour it is)?

Good eyes Vic! Thanks for testing. Did everything import properly for you ?

Based on my research, vCal is synonymous to vCalendar spec version 1; while iCal is synonymous to vCalendar v. 2. Right now, my implementation can only handle vCal (v1). Eventually, it'd be able to handle both vCal and iCal transparently.
