The web GUI for Google Calendar has the ability to set a specific start and
end time zone which is absolutely awesome. Is it possible to use this
functionality from the (Python) API as well?
For example, say I got the following start and end datetime objects for an
event I want to create:
*import pytz
import datetime
start_zone = pytz.timezone('Europe/London')
end_zone = pytz.timezone('Europe/Oslo')
start_time = datetime.datetime(2011,5,13,15,0, tzinfo=start_zone)
end_time = datetime.datetime(2011,5,13,19,0, tzinfo=end_zone)
*
My current attempt is just the following:
*event = gdata.calendar.CalendarEventEntry()*
*event.when.append(gdata.calendar.When(start_time=start_time.isoformat(),
end_time=end_time.isoformat()))*
The resulting event starts at 16:00 and ends at 19:00 in a calendar set to
"GMT+0 (London)" and has no timezone data.
This makes sense as the *start_time.isoformat()* and
*end_time.isoformat()*returns a string with the time and the timezone offset
(+0 and +1
respectively). Converted to London time (which is UTC+1 due to daylight
savings time) these start and end times are correct compared to the
isoformat strings, although not what I wanted.
