icalendar.parser.content_line module#

parsing and generation of content lines

class icalendar.parser.content_line.Contentline(value, strict=False, encoding='utf-8')[source]#

Bases: str

A content line is basically a string that can be folded and parsed into parts.

classmethod from_ical(ical, strict=False)[source]#

Unfold the content lines in an iCalendar into long content lines.

classmethod from_parts(name, params, values, sorted=True)[source]#

Turn a parts into a content line.

parts()[source]#

Split the content line into name, parameters, and values parts.

Properly handles escaping with backslashes and double-quote sections to avoid corrupting URL-encoded characters in values.

Example with parameter:

DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="cid:part1.0001@example.org":The Fall'98 Wild

Example without parameters:

DESCRIPTION:The Fall'98 Wild
Return type:

tuple[str, Parameters, str]

strict#
to_ical()[source]#

Long content lines are folded so they are less than 75 characters wide.

class icalendar.parser.content_line.Contentlines(iterable=(), /)[source]#

Bases: list

I assume that iCalendar files generally are a few kilobytes in size. Then this should be efficient. for Huge files, an iterator should probably be used instead.

classmethod from_ical(st)[source]#

Parses a string into content lines.

to_ical()[source]#

Simply join self.
