A set of tools for retrieving and visualizing schedule events

Daily/weekly schedule with Google Calendar or Yandex Calendar, visualized using Flask

The python application is originally designed to work with the E&S Digistar interface, but can be easily used independently.

Note that the application uses JavaScript code to highlight past and future events (and for something else), so support for JS is desirable.

Dependencies

• Flask
• Google client library
• Waitress or other WSGI server

For Yandex Calendar

• CalDAV
• vobject

For Telegram or VK bot

• pyTelegramBotAPI
• vk-api

Installation

For the application to work, you need:

• Get the credentials as json file, see Authorize credentials for a desktop application.
• Specify the path to this json file in the source code:
  cal.py
  ,
  FILE_PATH
  variable.
• Specify the сalendar ID from the Google Calendar settings:
  cal.py
  ,
  CAL_ID
  variable.
• If necessary, specify the IP address and port in
  flask_cal.py
  ,
  HOST
  and
  PORT
  variables.
• Launch the application from the command line or using a shortcut on the Windows desktop.

Additionally, you can use a Telegram or VK bot for various requests. The bot starts and runs simultaneously with the Flask application. To use the bot, specify your token in

,

TG_TOKEN

or

VK_TOKEN

variable. You can disable the bot by setting the

TG_BOT

or

VK_BOT

variable to False.
