gcalcli 24 hour format

[hofa]

There was just one thing I didn't like about gcalcli, and it was that I couldn't specify which time format I want to use. I live in Belgium where we're used to using the 24 hour format. So after some research, I got gcalcli to display in 24 hour format.

I made a diff file from the original and edited file so I could share it here:

391c391
<                 tmpTimeStr = eventStartDateTime.strftime("%l:%M") + meridiem
---
>                 tmpTimeStr = eventStartDateTime.strftime("%H:%M")
605c605
<         timeFormat = '%l:%M'
---
>         timeFormat = '%H:%M'
621c621
<             tmpTimeStr = eventStartDateTime.strftime(timeFormat) + meridiem
---
>             tmpTimeStr = eventStartDateTime.strftime(timeFormat)
859c859
<             tmpTimeStr = eventStartDateTime.strftime('%l:%M') + meridiem
---
>             tmpTimeStr = eventStartDateTime.strftime('%H:%M')

If you put this in a file called gcalcli.diff in your home folder, you can patch the file like this:

sudo patch /etc/usr/gcalcli ~/gcalcli.diff

Maybe I'll try and set it up so you can specify it in ~/.gcalcli when I've got some time to spare

Thanks a lot. I was wondering whether I missed some option of the configuration but apparently the time format is hard coded. Thanks for the diff.

thanks a lot for the patch! but...

sudo patch /etc/usr/gcalcli ~/gcalcli.diff

should really be

sudo patch /usr/bin/gcalcli ~/gcalcli.diff

right?
