Outlook and Google Calendars

Create and remove events to Outlook and Google calendars.

Library

The module calendars.py has the OutlookCalendar and GoogleCalendar classes that manage the creation and removal of entries, given dates and the events names.

The events are hard-coded to be simple, with only start date and time and title as parameters. Other properties are hard-coded.

Outlook calendar is handled locally using a locally installed Outlook via the win32com windows library.

Google Calendar is handled via the Google API, which must be properly setup and the credentials saved to a local file named credentials.json. During first use, you'll be requested to log in, which will create a token file token.json. To get started with Google API, refer to the Google Python API.

App

The app app_cals.py is a simple example tool that creates calendar events in both Outlook and Google, according to a school pick-up and drop-off weekly schedule.

The main input are week numbers, so events will be created from Monday to Fridays of those weeks, at the input time parameter titled after the subject parameter if the input dictionary, which is simply a global list in the app.
