ValueError: A VEVENT must have at most one CATEGORIES - Why aren't multiple categories supported? #2

I figured I can use ical2csv.py directly from command line so I tried converting a calendar exported by Thunderbird. After some processing time I get following error:

src/ical2csv.py ~/Dokumente/Privat.ics Writing to CSV file: /home/me/Dokumente/Privat.ics.csv Reading iCalendar file...

Why are multiple categories not supported? Ics-py seems able to process them. I also checked my .ics file: All events have at most one category…

I also opened an issue there: https://github.com/ics-py/ics-py/issues/373

I did not have that problem, but I did not check every feature of ICS files, because this was a simple project for one time use. If there is a simple solution I could implement it?! I would have to look further into the issue.

Short addition: I changed the code (0e202914e64e48be4034db5f306ef89ee127dabf) to output a list if a set of values comes from the ICS file. Please test your calendar file with the newest version.
