django-ical
iCal feeds for Django based on Django's syndication feed framework.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, with conditions. The package is stable, has no vulnerabilities, and low install friction. It is the right tool if you need to expose Django models as iCalendar feeds and are comfortable with dormant maintenance (last release 2023-06-12). If you require active bug fixes or rapid support for new Django/Python versions, verify compatibility with your target stack first. For straightforward calendar feed generation on a stable Django project, it is a solid choice.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Django to be installed and configured; the package extends Django's syndication framework, so basic Django project setup is a prerequisite.
- Low friction install with three straightforward dependencies (django, icalendar, django-recurrence).
- Maintenance is dormant—last release was 2023-06-12—but the package is marked Production/Stable and has no known vulnerabilities, suggesting it is mature and not actively breaking.

What it is and what it does
django-ical extends Django's built-in syndication feed framework to generate iCalendar feeds instead of RSS or Atom. It wraps the icalendar library and allows you to define feed classes that map Django model instances to calendar events, to-do items, or other iCalendar components. You declare which model fields map to iCalendar properties (start time, end time, location, attendees, recurrence rules, alarms, etc.) and django-ical handles serialization to RFC 5545 format.
The package is designed for developers already familiar with Django's syndication framework—the API mirrors it closely. It supports modern iCalendar features including VTODO elements, VALARM (alarms), recurring events via rrule/exrule, categories, and the full RFC 5545 property set. It runs on Python 3.8–3.11 and Django 3.2–4.1, with no known security issues.
Use it for
- Expose Django event models as iCalendar feeds so users can subscribe in calendar applications.
- Build a to-do list application that generates iCal feeds for task management tools.
- Create recurring event feeds with alarms, attendee lists, and location data for scheduling applications.
- Syndicate meeting or conference schedules as iCal feeds for easy import into attendee calendars.
- Generate calendar feeds with custom metadata (organizer, categories, geographic coordinates) for integration with third-party calendar systems.
