# About

Max M had often needed to parse and generate iCalendar files. Finally, he got tired of writing ad-hoc tools. This package is his attempt at making an iCalendar package for Python. The inspiration has come from the email package in the standard lib, which he thinks is pretty simple, yet efficient and powerful.

The `icalendar` package is an RFC 5545 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545> compatible parser/generator for iCalendar files.
