Quick Summary
A repeating event returns the set of instance dates using the getrruleset() method, which returns a generator that yields a sequence of datetime instances. When an RDATE has a PERIOD value type, the duration of event on that date is ignored, and cannot be returned via the current generator.
Context
- vObject 0.9.9
- Python 2.7 to 3.14
- Operating system Debian 13/amd64
Description
When parsing an object (eg. VEVENT) with one or more RDATE entries and/or an RRULE (and optionally one or more EXDATEs), the RecurringComponent exposes the instance dates via a dateutil.rruleset.
Unfortunately, rruleset appears to have some limitations:
- it cannot mix tz-aware datetime with non-tz-aware datetime values
- it cannot mix date values with datetime values (for RDATE with VALUE=DATE)
- it doesn't support RDATE with PERIOD values, because it has no support for DURATIONS at all
See #141 for the initial work to support PERIOD.
