Stupid Python Event Calendar (specal)

DESCRIPTION

specal uses the curses python library to draw a very simplistic, very minimal calendar, coupled with a notepad for each day.

INSTALLATION:

$ sudo install.sh

Should work with any python2.x and up. Creates a subdirectory in your home directory.

Invoke with

$ specal [OPTION] [DATE]

With no option, specal will open the graphical calendar view.
Current options include:
-h, --help Open specal usage
-l, --list List event dates in your calendar
-i, --info yyyy-mm-dd Concatenate the event written on date yyyy-mm-dd
