Step 1: Install csv-ical Module with PIP<\/h2>\n

Run the following command in your command line or PowerShell (Windows) or shell or terminal (macOS, Linux, Ubuntu) to install the csv-ical<\/a><\/code> library:<\/p>\n

pip install csv-ical<\/pre>\n
In some instances, you need to modify this command a bit to make it work. If you need more assistance installing the library, check out my detailed guide.<\/p>\n
\"\ud83c\udf0d\" Full Guide<\/strong>: How to install a library\/module in Python?<\/a><\/p>\n
Step 2: Prepare files<\/h2>\n
Create a new Python code file with the extension .py<\/code> or a Jupyter Notebook with the file extension .ipynb<\/code>. This creates a Python script or Jupyter Notebook that can run the code in Step 3 to conver the .ics<\/code>.<\/p>\n
Now, put the .ics<\/code> file to be converted in the same folder as the newly-created Python script. <\/p>\n
Use Jupyter Notebook to create a new .ipynb<\/code> file<\/p>\n
Step 3: Convert<\/h2>\n
This step consists of running the code doing these three things:<\/p>\n
    \n
  • Create and initialize a Convert<\/code> object<\/li>\n
  • Read the .ics<\/code> file<\/li>\n
  • Create the CSV object and save it at the specified location<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Here’s the full code:<\/p>\n
    from csv_ical import Convert # Create and initialize a Convert object\nconvert = Convert()\nconvert.CSV_FILE_LOCATION = 'my_file.csv'\nconvert.SAVE_LOCATION = 'my_file.ics' # Read the .ics file\nconvert.read_ical(convert.SAVE_LOCATION) # Create the CSV object and save it at the specified location\nconvert.make_csv()\nconvert.save_csv(convert.CSV_FILE_LOCATION)<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
    Thanks for going through the whole tutorial! <3<\/p>\n
