A simple python (flask) web application which can be used to parse a basic html page and serve out an ics file.

pip install .

Then

FLASK_APP=<path_to_app>/app.py flask run -h <ip> -p <port>

OR

python lunch_calendar/app.py

Open browser and navigate to a school code for the desired calendar (i.e. http://localhost:5000/sre.ics). The current and (if available) next months will be served in an ics file.

Cache timeout should probably be kept to less than 24 hours, just so that updates can happen within a day. That said, keeping the timeout very high will prevent needless requests from the html calendar, and will ensure calendars are loaded instantly.

CACHE_TIMEOUT = A timeout in seconds to clear the cached ics lunch (default: 28800).

CALENDAR_URL = The root url to get the calendar (default: http://www.belchertownps.org/sites/default/files/menus)

LOG_LEVEL = The log level (default: INFO)
