Useful Python scripts using Google Calendar.
All of these scripts assume that the Google Calendar libraries are installed and configured:
pip3 install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
They also assume that you have your Google Calendar API credentials stored in a file named credentials.json in the local directory.
The following Python libraries are also needed in order to properly deal with timezones:
pip3 install pytz
pip3 install get_localzone
pip3 install python-dateutil
pip3 install tzlocal
