Conky Google Calendar Python Script

Hey all-

Just wondering if there was a way to remove duplicate entries? That is if two events have the same title, day and time, only one should show?

You have 2 from just one calendar or is it where you have multiple calendars?

No, multiple calendars.

No, multiple calendars.

I can make sure the list is unique quite quickly if it is based on all info e.g. title, start time, end time, location, description and who

Would that work for you? Or would it need to be just title, start time and end time?

I've attached an updated script to handle the first suggestion

The attached script works, but sometimes an event has "Who:A,B" on one calendar and "Who:B,A" on the other. These events are not unique and the order of attendees doesn't really matter.

I think the best way is just title, start, and end time.

Thanks for the fast response!

I've had a little play and I agree that the "who" gets in the way, I setup 2 equivalent events with matching everything but the who made them unique

I've done as you requested, removed duplicates based on title, starttime and endtime, but only if the --distinctevents / -D options is used

See attached, let me know if that works for you

Perfect. Many thanks!

Perfect. Many thanks!

No worries, it will be in the next release of the script....


@ALL
So far the next version has got:

• Updated to replace any $ symbol with $$ for event data so conky doesn't parse text as variables
• Update to display Today and Tomorrow on those days rather than the date
• Added --distinctevents / -D option which removes duplicate events with matching title, starttime and endtime

Any more ideas?
