icalendar.prop.cal_address module

CAL-ADDRESS values from RFC 5545.

class icalendar.prop.cal_address.vCalAddress(value: str | bytes, encoding: str = 'utf-8', /, params: dict[str, Any] | None = None)

Bases: str

Calendar User Address

Value Name:

CAL-ADDRESS

Purpose:

This value type is used to identify properties that contain a calendar user address.

Description:

The value is a URI as defined by [RFC3986] or any other IANA-registered form for a URI. When used to address an Internet email transport address for a calendar user, the value MUST be a mailto URI, as defined by [RFC2368].

Example

mailto: is in front of the address.

mailto:jane_doe@example.com

Parsing:

>>> from icalendar import vCalAddress
>>> cal_address = vCalAddress.from_ical('mailto:jane_doe@example.com')
>>> cal_address
vCalAddress('mailto:jane_doe@example.com')

Encoding:

>>> from icalendar import vCalAddress, Event
>>> event = Event()
>>> jane = vCalAddress("mailto:jane_doe@example.com")
>>> jane.name = "Jane"
>>> event["organizer"] = jane
>>> print(event.to_ical().decode().replace('\\r\\n', '\\n').strip())
BEGIN:VEVENT
ORGANIZER;CN=Jane:mailto:jane_doe@example.com
END:VEVENT

property CN: str

Specify the common name to be associated with the calendar user specified.

Description:

This parameter can be specified on properties with a CAL-ADDRESS value type. The parameter specifies the common name to be associated with the calendar user specified by the property. The parameter value is text. The parameter value can be used for display text to be associated with the calendar address specified by the property.

property CUTYPE: CUTYPE | str

Identify the type of calendar user specified by the property.

Description:

This parameter can be specified on properties with a CAL-ADDRESS value type. The parameter identifies the type of calendar user specified by the property.

Specify reference to a directory entry associated with the calendar user specified by the property.

Description:

This parameter can be specified on properties with a CAL-ADDRESS value type. The parameter specifies a reference to the directory entry associated with the calendar user specified by the property. The parameter value is a URI. The URI parameter value MUST be specified in a quoted-string.

Note

While there is no restriction imposed on the URI schemes allowed for this parameter, CID RFC 2392, DATA RFC 2397, FILE RFC 1738, FTP RFC 1738, HTTP RFC 2616, HTTPS RFC 2818, LDAP RFC 4516, and MID RFC 2392 are the URI schemes most commonly used by current implementations.

property LANGUAGE: str | None

Specify the language for text values in a property or property parameter.

Description:

This parameter identifies the language of the text in the property value and of all property parameter values of the property. The value of the "LANGUAGE" property parameter is that defined in RFC 5646.

For transport in a MIME entity, the Content-Language header field can be used to set the default language for the entire body part. Otherwise, no default language is assumed.

property PARTSTAT: PARTSTAT | str

Specify the participation status for the calendar user specified by the property.

Description:

This parameter can be specified on properties with a CAL-ADDRESS value type. The parameter identifies the participation status for the calendar user specified by the property value. The parameter values differ depending on whether they are associated with a group-scheduled "VEVENT", "VTODO", or "VJOURNAL". The values MUST match one of the values allowed for the given calendar component. If not specified on a property that allows this parameter, the default value is NEEDS-ACTION. Applications MUST treat x-name and iana-token values they don't recognize the same way as they would the NEEDS-ACTION value.

property ROLE: ROLE | str

property RSVP: bool

Specify whether there is an expectation of a favor of anreply from the calendar user specified by the property value.

Description:

This parameter can be specified on properties with a CAL-ADDRESS value type. The parameter identifies the expectation of a reply from the calendar user specified by the property value. This parameter is used by the "Organizer" to request a participation status reply from an "Attendee" of a group-scheduled event or to-do. If not specified on a property that allows this parameter, the default value is False.

property SENT_BY: str | None

Specify the calendar user that is acting on behalf of the calendar user specified by the property.

Description:

This parameter can be specified on properties with a CAL-ADDRESS value type. The parameter specifies the calendar user that is acting on behalf of the calendar user specified by the property. The parameter value MUST be a mailto URI as defined in RFC 2368. The individual calendar address parameter values MUST each be specified in a quoted-string.

property VALUE: str

The VALUE parameter or the default.

Purpose:

VALUE explicitly specify the value type format for a property value.

Description:

This parameter specifies the value type and format of the property value. The property values MUST be of a single value type. For example, a "RDATE" property cannot have a combination of DATE-TIME and TIME value types.

If the property's value is the default value type, then this parameter need not be specified. However, if the property's default value type is overridden by some other allowable value type, then this parameter MUST be specified.

Applications MUST preserve the value data for x-name and iana-token values that they don't recognize without attempting to interpret or parse the value data.

Returns:

The VALUE parameter or the default.

Examples

The VALUE defaults to the name of the property. Note that it is case-insensitive but always uppercase.

>>> from icalendar import vBoolean
>>> b = vBoolean(True)
>>> b.VALUE
'BOOLEAN'

Setting the VALUE parameter of a typed property usually does not make sense. For convenience, using this property, the value will be converted to an uppercase string. If you have some custom property, you might use it like this:

>>> from icalendar import vUnknown, Event
>>> v = vUnknown("Some property text.")
>>> v.VALUE = "x-type"  # lower case
>>> v.VALUE
'X-TYPE'
>>> event = Event()
>>> event.add("x-prop", v)
>>> print(event.to_ical())
BEGIN:VEVENT
X-PROP;VALUE=X-TYPE:Some property text.
END:VEVENT

If the string ends with the suffix string and that suffix is not empty, return string[:-len(suffix)]. Otherwise, return a copy of the original string.

replace(old, new, /, count=-1)

Return a copy with all occurrences of substring old replaced by new.

count

Maximum number of occurrences to replace. -1 (the default value) means replace all occurrences.

If the optional argument count is given, only the first count occurrences are replaced.

rfind()

Return the highest index in S where substring sub is found, such that sub is contained within S[start:end].

Optional arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation. Return -1 on failure.

rindex()

Return the highest index in S where substring sub is found, such that sub is contained within S[start:end].

rjust(width, fillchar=' ', /)

Return a right-justified string of length width.

Padding is done using the specified fill character (default is a space).

rpartition(sep, /)

Partition the string into three parts using the given separator.

This will search for the separator in the string, starting at the end. If the separator is found, returns a 3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator itself, and the part after it.

If the separator is not found, returns a 3-tuple containing two empty strings and the original string.

rsplit(sep=None, maxsplit=-1)

Return a list of the substrings in the string, using sep as the separator string.

sep

The separator used to split the string.

When set to None (the default value), will split on any whitespace character (including n r t f and spaces) and will discard empty strings from the result.

maxsplit

Maximum number of splits. -1 (the default value) means no limit.

Splitting starts at the end of the string and works to the front.

rstrip(chars=None, /)

Return a copy of the string with trailing whitespace removed.

If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.

split(sep=None, maxsplit=-1)

Return a list of the substrings in the string, using sep as the separator string.

sep

The separator used to split the string.

When set to None (the default value), will split on any whitespace character (including n r t f and spaces) and will discard empty strings from the result.

maxsplit

Maximum number of splits. -1 (the default value) means no limit.

Splitting starts at the front of the string and works to the end.

Note, str.split() is mainly useful for data that has been intentionally delimited. With natural text that includes punctuation, consider using the regular expression module.

splitlines(keepends=False)

Return a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line boundaries.

Line breaks are not included in the resulting list unless keepends is given and true.

startswith()

Return True if the string starts with the specified prefix, False otherwise.

Return type:

list

translate(table, /)

Replace each character in the string using the given translation table.

table

Translation table, which must be a mapping of Unicode ordinals to Unicode ordinals, strings, or None.

The table must implement lookup/indexing via __getitem__, for instance a dictionary or list. If this operation raises LookupError, the character is left untouched. Characters mapped to None are deleted.
