Upon inspection of CCalendar API, it's possible to flag a N900 calendar as read-only, so that should do the trick. I just have to figure out how to get the same information from Google Calendars, but I suspect that it won't be too difficult.

Right, I think this would be trivial.

Your right. When looking over the calendar-backend API previously, I noticed you could specify the color for a calendar. I had just assumed this was more flexible, but the enum in CCalendar.h does only define a small palette. We could try to match the closest color, but it might not be worth the effort. It'd be much better if calendar-backend took at RGB color.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

You are affected by this bug if Erminig-NG crashs at startup with the following message:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named iso8601

It's caused by line 32 in erminig-ng: "import xml.utils.iso8601"
The python-xml package is installed on my machine, and the utils/iso8601.py file is there, but the error still occurs. Reinstalling python-xml did not help.

Anyway, python-xml has to my knowledge not been maintained for ten years or something, and is removed from later versions of python distributions. So you might consider using some other module for the 8601 stuff.

I agree that python-xml is unmaintained for quite a long time and that it's gone in newer version of Python.

This however doesn't explain why for some people it doesn't work as expected (which is kinda enraging because there's no logical explanation yet).

I may end up doing what you suggest, i.e. use another module for ISO8601 dates...

hmmm, this is interesting. papyon is part of one of the many MSN implementation for maemo, and maybe it's conflicting with python-xml (I'm betting that python-papyon is problematic here).

In fact I don't have any MSN client installed, so this may be the problem:

Code:

Nokia-N900-42-11:~# find / -name 'iso8601.py'
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/utils/iso8601.py
/usr/share/pyshared/_xmlplus/utils/iso8601.py
/home/opt/pymaemo/usr/share/pyshared/_xmlplus/utils/iso8601.py
/home/opt/pymaemo/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/utils/iso8601.py

Palleman:

would you mind posting here the result of the following two python lines (executed on your device, in a Python shell):

Code:

import sys
print sys.path

I suspect that papyon's version of iso8601 takes precedence over the version from python-xml, which in turns causes us some griefs.

thanks

Sorry, I was a bit fast there. It didn't make it work, it just made the error disappear. I added a Google calendar loaded with entries, and ended up with a new but empty calendar on N900.

I.e. the first --sync-calendar command is supposed to fill it up with the existing entries, right? I don't want to run the second command yet, don't want to end up with an empty calendar on the Google side too.
