Class Details

class ECal.Client(**kwargs)
Bases:

EDataServer.Client, ECal.TimezoneCache, Gio.AsyncInitable, Gio.Initable

Abstract:

No

Structure:

ECal.ClientClass

Contains only private data that should be read and manipulated using the functions below.

New in version 3.2.

classmethod check_timezones_sync(vcalendar, icalcomps, tzlookup, tzlookup_data, cancellable)
Parameters:

  • vcalendar (ICalGLib.Component) – a VCALENDAR containing a list of VTIMEZONE and arbitrary other components, in arbitrary order: these other components are modified by this call

  • icalcomps ([ICalGLib.Component] or None) – a list of ICalGLib.Component instances which also have to be patched; may be None

  • tzlookup (ECal.RecurResolveTimezoneCb or None) – a callback function which is called to retrieve a calendar’s VTIMEZONE definition; the returned definition is *not* freed by e_cal_client_check_timezones() None indicates that no such timezone exists or an error occurred

  • tzlookup_data (object or None) – an arbitrary pointer which is passed through to the tzlookup function

  • cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – a Gio.Cancellable to use in tzlookup function

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

True if successful, False otherwise.

Return type:

bool

This function cleans up VEVENT, VJOURNAL, VTODO and VTIMEZONE items which are to be imported into Evolution.

Using VTIMEZONE definitions is problematic because they cannot be updated properly when timezone definitions change. They are also incomplete (for compatibility reason only one set of rules for summer saving changes can be included, even if different rules apply in different years). This function looks for matches of the used TZIDs against system timezones and replaces such TZIDs with the corresponding system timezone. This works for TZIDs containing a location (found via a fuzzy string search) and for Outlook TZIDs (via a hard-coded lookup table).

Some programs generate broken meeting invitations with TZID, but without including the corresponding VTIMEZONE. Importing such invitations unchanged causes problems later on (meeting displayed incorrectly, ECal.Component.get_as_string() fails). The situation where this occurred in the past (found by a SyncEvolution user) is now handled via the location based mapping.

If this mapping fails, this function also deals with VTIMEZONE conflicts: such conflicts occur when the calendar already contains an old VTIMEZONE definition with the same TZID, but different summer saving rules. Replacing the VTIMEZONE potentially breaks displaying of old events, whereas not replacing it breaks the new events (the behavior in Evolution <= 2.22.1).

The way this problem is resolved by renaming the new VTIMEZONE definition until the TZID is unique. A running count is appended to the TZID. All items referencing the renamed TZID are adapted accordingly.

New in version 3.34.

classmethod connect(source, source_type, wait_for_connected_seconds, cancellable, callback, *user_data)
Parameters:

Asynchronously creates a new ECal.Client for source and source_type.

The wait_for_connected_seconds argument had been added since 3.16, to let the caller decide how long to wait for the backend to fully connect to its (possibly remote) data store. This is required due to a change in the authentication process, which is fully asynchronous and done on the client side, while not every client is supposed to response to authentication requests. In case the backend will not connect within the set interval, then it is opened in an offline mode. A special value -1 can be used to not wait for the connected state at all.

Unlike with e_cal_client_new(), there is no need to call EDataServer.Client.open() after obtaining the ECal.Client.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call ECal.Client.connect_finish() to get the result of the operation.

New in version 3.8.

classmethod connect_finish(result)
Parameters:

result (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

a new ECal.Client, or None

Return type:

EDataServer.Client or None

Finishes the operation started with ECal.Client.connect(). If an error occurs in connecting to the D-Bus service, the function sets error and returns None.

For error handling convenience, any error message returned by this function will have a descriptive prefix that includes the display name of the EDataServer.Source passed to ECal.Client.connect().

New in version 3.8.

classmethod connect_sync(source, source_type, wait_for_connected_seconds, cancellable)
Parameters:
Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

a new ECal.Client, or None

Return type:

EDataServer.Client or None

Creates a new ECal.Client for source and source_type. If an error occurs, the function will set error and return False.

The wait_for_connected_seconds argument had been added since 3.16, to let the caller decide how long to wait for the backend to fully connect to its (possibly remote) data store. This is required due to a change in the authentication process, which is fully asynchronous and done on the client side, while not every client is supposed to response to authentication requests. In case the backend will not connect within the set interval, then it is opened in an offline mode. A special value -1 can be used to not wait for the connected state at all.

Unlike with e_cal_client_new(), there is no need to call EDataServer.Client.open_sync() after obtaining the ECal.Client.

For error handling convenience, any error message returned by this function will have a descriptive prefix that includes the display name of source.

New in version 3.8.

Return type:

GLib.Error
