New submission from Michał Pasternak <michal....@gmail.com>: I was looking for some library to handle calendar events. Something PIM- style, something useful, that could check if, for example, 2 weekly repeated events that start on Monday morning and last until December conflict with each other.
Then I found 'calendar' module in the standard library. My question: how this thing ever made it to the standard library? Maybe it was useful back in the days, if somebody could not get BSD or GNU sources for cal(1) . Nowadays, even if it is able to print HTML calendars, lets face it - who will use that functionality? You can easily find HTML calendars with a lot of JavaScript support, that can be customised in a thousands of ways. I suggest we delete this module completly. ---------- components: None messages: 80115 nosy: dotz severity: normal status: open title: 'calendar' module is crummy and should be removed type: feature request versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4989> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
