khal module

[xenrox]

I am converting a few of my xmobar modules to py3status modules. One of them which could be useful for the public would be the calendar module for khal. It is similar to https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status/pull/961. At the moment its displays the time and title of the appointments of the current day. I plan to implement the colors (e.g. deprecated if the appointment is close ) and maybe a warning with notify-send when an appointment is close. What could be useful for the user to change in the settings:

1. Timerange for displayed appointments
2. Format (https://lostpackets.de/khal/usage.html; only title or with description)
3. Timerange for warnings

Is there interest @lasers @cyrinux ?

Is there interest

If you have an use for it or you believe it will be cool/useful, then we're interested in khal too. Cheers.

First simple version is ready: https://github.com/xenrox/py3status/commit/62229e70b44a4a31dff42c6e1316737bb853c430 What i could add:

1. Colors for events (e.g. event is close: degraded, event started: bad, event normal: good)
2. Notification for close events

@xenrox Can you make a PR? You should drop _py3 from your module name too. :woman_farmer:

@lasers Ok i will open a PR later. Still have to change my formatter/linter to black.

I kinda have to give it a different name than simply khal.py because otherwise the name would hide the khal module from the package. Any idea how i should rename it?

Would khal_calendar work better? Similar to google_calendar.

Still have to change my formatter/linter to black.

black khal_py3.py will fix it for you in a second.
