How can I send an iCalendar email attachment with Django?

Question

I want to send an iCalendar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar email attachment using Django. Is there an open source library to build an iCalendar file in Python and/or available for Django?

Answer 1

I've used MaxM's icalendar module. It can build and parse iCalendar files.

Answer 2

There's also vobject which was developed for the Chandler project and seems to be more actively maintained. It's also BSD-licensed which might be important for your use case.

Answer 3

As stated before, there is vobject, that is working fine (I have used it recently).

You can find good information about ical, vobject and django in this blog post :
