It wraps the low-level format details so you can work with Calendar and Event objects directly, setting properties like name and begin time as simple attributes.\n\nThe library is designed for interoperability with widely-used calendar applications\u2014Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Android, and others all use the .ics format. It depends on python-dateutil for date handling, arrow for timezone-aware datetimes, tatsu for parsing, and attrs for object construction. The package is actively maintained and supports Python 3.6 and later.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, permissive licensing, no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem\u2014making iCalendar handling accessible. It's well-suited for any project that needs to read or write .ics files. The Beta status is a minor note but not a blocker for typical use."},"id":"ics","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ics","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ics.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ics/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ics","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python icalendar (rfc5545) parser"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":688622,"position":5339,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.3"}
