rruleset examples
-----------------
Daily, for 7 days, jumping Saturday and Sunday occurrences.
.. testsetup:: rruleset
import datetime
from dateutil.parser import parse

from dateutil.rrule import YEARLY, MONTHLY, WEEKLY, DAILY
from dateutil.rrule import MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU
import pprint
import sys

.. doctest:: rruleset

>>> set = rruleset()
>>> set.rrule(rrule(DAILY, count=7,

datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 5, 9, 0),

Weekly, for 4 weeks, plus one time on day 7, and not on day 16.
.. doctest:: rruleset
:options: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
>>> set = rruleset()
>>> set.rrule(rrule(WEEKLY, count=4,
... dtstart=parse("19970902T090000")))
>>> set.rdate(datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 7, 9, 0))
>>> set.exdate(datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 16, 9, 0))
>>> list(set)
[datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 2, 9, 0),
datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 7, 9, 0),

datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 23, 9, 0)]
rrulestr() examples
-------------------
Every 10 days, 5 occurrences.
.. testsetup:: rrulestr
from dateutil.parser import parse
from dateutil.rrule import rruleset, rrulestr
import pprint
import sys
sys.displayhook = pprint.pprint
.. doctest:: rrulestr
:options: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
>>> list(rrulestr("""
... DTSTART:19970902T090000
... RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=10;COUNT=5
... """))
[datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 2, 9, 0),
datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 12, 9, 0),
datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 22, 9, 0),
datetime.datetime(1997, 10, 2, 9, 0),
datetime.datetime(1997, 10, 12, 9, 0)]
Same thing, but passing only the `RRULE` value.
.. doctest:: rrulestr
:options: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
>>> list(rrulestr("FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=10;COUNT=5",
... dtstart=parse("19970902T090000")))
[datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 2, 9, 0),
datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 12, 9, 0),
datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 22, 9, 0),
datetime.datetime(1997, 10, 2, 9, 0),
datetime.datetime(1997, 10, 12, 9, 0)]
Notice that when using a single rule, it returns an
`rrule` instance, unless `forceset` was used.
.. doctest:: rrulestr
:options: +ELLIPSIS
>>> rrulestr("FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=10;COUNT=5")
<dateutil.rrule.rrule object at 0x...>
>>> rrulestr("""
... DTSTART:19970902T090000
... RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=10;COUNT=5
... """)
<dateutil.rrule.rrule object at 0x...>
>>> rrulestr("FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=10;COUNT=5", forceset=True)
<dateutil.rrule.rruleset object at 0x...>
But when an `rruleset` is needed, it is automatically used.
.. doctest:: rrulestr
:options: +ELLIPSIS
>>> rrulestr("""
... DTSTART:19970902T090000
... RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=10;COUNT=5
... RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=5;COUNT=3
... """)
<dateutil.rrule.rruleset object at 0x...>
