I'd like to try out your natural language parser, but can't find it. I
naively thought this might work, but it doesn't:
>>> import recur
>>> import datetime
>>> for eachDate in recur.Recurrence(datetime.date(2004, 1, 7), "every 4 days", datetime.date(2004, 4, 15)):
... print eachDate
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "recur.py", line 599, in __init__
raise ValueError, (u"The supplied description ('%s') "
ValueError: The supplied description ('every 4 days') could not be parsed.
I realize this is a usage question and python-dev isn't a usage list.
Still, it suggests that perhaps the community as a whole needs a bit more
exposure to these concepts before they are incorporated into the standard
library. Perhaps a PEP about recurrence relations is warranted.
