Weekday names in calendar events #200

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.Submitting an calendar event with a weekday name the first thing in the title 
"Thursday meeting on 7/1/2010 at 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
an event whose title is "Thursday meeting"  instead you see " meeting"  I think 
it stripping out the thursday word to be "helpful"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
version of gdata-python-client (aka python-gdata)?

win xp 0.9.8

Please provide any additional information below.

Programmers would rather pass specific strings for each attribute instead of 
interpreted English statements.

The add task uses Google Calendar's quick add, which does all the parsing. You 
can read about it here:

But, I think you'll get what you want if you try

$ google calendar add '"Thursday meeting" on 7/1/2010 at 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM'

Anything you don't want Google Calendars to parse and interpret can be enclosed 
in double quotes (which means you need to enclose everything in '' on the 
command line)

Hope that helps! (Can't really "fix" this, so marking it WontFix)
