Answer 1

Did you take a look at Django Schedule and Django SwingTime ?

Answer 2

Take a look at some of the calendar related exapmles here to see if they work for you:

• http://www.djangosnippets.org/tags/calendar/

Also, you might consider using Python's HTMLCalendar as discussed here:

• Creating a Flexible Monthly Calendar in Django

Here it is an example of overiding HTMLCalendar to display a queryset.

class QuerysetCalendar(HTMLCalendar):

def __init__(self, queryset, field):
    self.field = field
    super(QuerysetCalendar, self).__init__()
    self.queryset_by_date = self.group_by_day(queryset)

def formatday(self, day, weekday):
    if day != 0:
        cssclass = self.cssclasses[weekday]
        if date.today() == date(self.year, self.month, day):
            cssclass += ' today'
        if day in self.queryset_by_date:
            cssclass += ' filled'
            body = ['<ul>']

            for item in self.queryset_by_date[day]:
                body.append('<li>')
                body.append('<a href="%s">' % item.get_absolute_url())
                body.append(esc(item))
                body.append('</a></li>')
            body.append('</ul>')
            return self.day_cell(cssclass, '%d %s' % (day, ''.join(body)))
        return self.day_cell(cssclass, day)
    return self.day_cell('noday', ' ')


def formatmonth(self, year, month):
    self.year, self.month = year, month
    return super(QuerysetCalendar, self).formatmonth(year, month)

def group_by_day(self, queryset):
    field = lambda item: getattr(item, self.field).day
    return dict(
        [(day, list(items)) for day, items in groupby(queryset, field)]
    )

def day_cell(self, cssclass, body):
    return '<td class="%s">%s</td>' % (cssclass, body)
