Question

Does anyone know of any existing packages or libraries that can be used to build a calendar in a django app?

Was it helpful?

Solution

A quick google search reveals django-gencal, which looks like exactly what you need. It would also be worth looking at the snippets under the calendar tag on Django Snippets at http://www.djangosnippets.org/tags/calendar/.

OTHER TIPS

It seems that django-calendar has become django-agenda: http://github.com/dokterbob/django-agenda

Great Tipps

django-swingtime lives on

http://github.com/dakrauth/django-swingtime

The django-schedule code originally from thauber (thauber/django-schedule) has been forked and worked into the glamkit/glamkit-eventtools code for Galleries, Libraries, Museums and Archives. It has also been forked and updated by a variety of other folks, e.g. boskee/django-schedule, and my guess is that that might have fewer dependencies and be easier to integrate into another project. It says:

Django-schedule: A calendaring/scheduling application, featuring:

  • one-time and recurring events
  • calendar exceptions (occurrences changed or cancelled)
  • occurrences accessible through Event API and Period API
  • relations of events to generic objects
  • ready to use, nice user interface
  • view day, week, month, three months and year
  • project sample which can be launched immediately and reused in your project

See the github "network" tab for a graphical navigation from the point of view of a given branch to see how other branches relate to it (i.e. what is available for merging).

svn checkout http://django-calendar.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ django-calendar-read-only svn: URL 'http://django-calendar.googlecode.com/svn/trunk' doesn't exist

so google search may reveal, but it's no longer exists.

There is another calendar alternative here, Django Event Calendar from 3captus, that offers something a bit simpler. I'm trying it out now, but it looks like a better fit for me.

From the features list:

  • Full feature calendar display using python calendar class
  • Support month scrolling (forward or backward)
  • AJAX add, modify, delete GUI
  • Require mimimum knowledge of Django, should be a good compliment after you are done with django tutorial (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial01/)
  • Calendar and Event class can be used in any python project
  • Full unit test included

There are also some calendar functions built into Python itself, you can see a simple implementation here.

Today I ran into django-swingtime. Worth checking out.
