| Abstract: |
In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in standardized calendaring based on iCalendar (RFC2445). In 2004, several groups perceived a need for and independently implemented general Python iCalendar libraries. vobject sprung out of the Open Source Application Foundation's need for Chandler to interoperate with CalDAV servers and other calendar clients. vobject has no dependence on any Chandler libraries, and its license diverges from Chandler and uses an Apache license instead of GPL. vobject features parsing and serialization of iCalendar objects, including converting python standard timezone classes to and from iCalendar VTIMEZONE. It also integrates with the dateutil package to provide expansion of recurrence rules. vobject's homepage is http://vobject.skyhouseconsulting.com |

Note: Talk recordings have come from different donors, with different levels of quality.
A suffix has been added to the basename of each recording reflecting this. For eventual upload to
a repository like archive.org, a formal naming convention has been followed:
pycon-{date}-{track}-{timeslot}-{talkno}-{donor}.mp3
For those who might prefer a more human-meaningful name, the recordings have MP3/Ogg/Flac ID3
information within and a simple python script could rename your collection to something in a {title}-{author}
form.
