BBC iCalendar schedules

Jon Udell recently wrote about accessing the BBC programming schedules but was put-off by the lack of time zone information in the iCalendar feeds, which prompted me to fix the quick-and-dirty script I have that generates iCalendar files for the BBC. (I wrote the first, time zone-blind version of my script in England’s Winter and it worked just perfick back then!)

So I fix it. The updated iCalendar files have events with time zone information.

Everyone’s happy.

Jon Udell’s use of Python to explore data manipulation on the Web was one of the reasons I thought I really ought to get stuck into Python.
