It wraps icalendar and adds convenience functions to download calendar feeds and extract events, making it simpler to integrate calendar data into Python applications without manually handling HTTP requests or low-level parsing.\n\nThe library depends on icalendar, python-dateutil, pytz, and urllib3. It targets Python 3.9 and later and is maintained by the Jazzband community, though recent activity has slowed (last release 322 days ago). No known security vulnerabilities are recorded.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need straightforward iCalendar parsing and downloading. The library has low install friction, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. However, the aging maintenance status (322 days since last release) means you should verify it handles your specific calendar format and features before committing to it in a production system. For simple, read-only calendar integration, it is a solid choice."},"id":"icalevents","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/icalevents","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/icalevents.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/icalevents/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"icalevents","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Simple Python 3 library to download, parse and query iCal sources."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":579880,"position":5915,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.1"}
