Description
-----------

Swingtime is a `Django `_ application similar to
a stripped-down version of iCal for Mac OS X or Google Calendar.

Swingtime provides a ``models.Event`` model that acts as metadata container
for one or more ``models.Occurrence`` objects, which describe specific
start and end times.

Swingtime relies heavily upon both the ``datetime`` standard library package and
the ``dateutil`` package, featuring direct support for the ``dateutil.rrule``
interface to create occurrences.

A fairly simple example:

.. code:: python

>>> from datetime import *
>>> from swingtime import models as swingtime
>>> et = swingtime.EventType.objects.create(abbr='work', label='Work Related Events')
>>> evt = swingtime.Event.objects.create(
... title='New TPS Cover Sheet',
... description='Kiss off, Lumbergh!',
... event_type=et
... )
>>> evt.add_occurrences(datetime(2018,3,18,16), datetime(2018,3,18,16,15), count=5)
>>> for o in evt.occurrence_set.all():
... print(o)
...
New TPS Cover Sheet: 2018-03-18T16:00:00
New TPS Cover Sheet: 2018-03-19T16:00:00
New TPS Cover Sheet: 2018-03-20T16:00:00
New TPS Cover Sheet: 2018-03-21T16:00:00
New TPS Cover Sheet: 2018-03-22T16:00:00

A bit more elaborate example, using the the convenience function ``models.create_event``:

.. code:: python

>>> # pay day is the last Friday of the month at 5pm
>>> evt = swingtime.create_event(
... 'Pay day',
... ('pay', 'Payroll'), # alternate means to add EventType on the fly
... freq=rrule.MONTHLY,
... byweekday=rrule.FR(-1),
... until=datetime(2013,8,1),
... start_time=datetime(2013,4,1,17)
... )
>>> for o in evt.occurrence_set.all():
... print(o)
...
Pay day: 2013-04-26T17:00:00
Pay day: 2013-05-31T17:00:00
Pay day: 2013-06-28T17:00:00
Pay day: 2013-07-26T17:00:00
