        Installation
        ------------
        
        Download the source from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-eventtools/
        and run ``python setup.py install``, or:
        
        ::
        
            > pip install django-eventtools
        
        Django 1.8 or higher is required.
        
        Setup
        -----
        
        Given the following models:
        
        ::
        
            from django.db import models
        
            from eventtools.models import BaseEvent, BaseOccurrence
        
        
            class MyEvent(BaseEvent):
                title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        
        
            class MyOccurrence(BaseOccurrence):
                event = models.ForeignKey(MyEvent)
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Create a sample event & occurrences
        
        ::
        
            >>> from datetime import datetime
            >>> from myapp.models import MyEvent
            >>> event = MyEvent.objects.create(title='Test event')
            >>> once_off = MyOccurrence.objects.create(
                    event=event,
                    start=datetime(2016, 1, 1, 12, 0),
                    end=datetime(2016, 1, 1, 2, 0))
            >>> christmas = MyOccurrence.objects.create(
                    event=event,
                    start=datetime(2015, 12, 25, 7, 0),
                    end=datetime(2015, 12, 25, 22, 0),
                    repeat='RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY')
            >>> daily = MyOccurrence.objects.create(
                    event=event,
                    start=datetime(2016, 1, 1, 7, 0),
                    end=datetime(2016, 1, 1, 8, 0),
                    repeat='RRULE:FREQ=DAILY')
        
        Event and Occurrence instances, and their associated querysets, all
        support the ``all_occurrences`` method, which takes two optional
        arguments - ``from_date`` and ``to_date``, which may be dates or
        datetimes. ``from_date`` and ``to_date`` default to ``None``. The method
        returns a python generator yielding tuples in the format
        ``(start, end, instance)`` - for example:
        
        ::
        
            >>> MyEvent.objects.all().all_occurrences()
            >>> event.all_occurrences(from_date=datetime(2015, 1, 1, 10, 0))
            >>> event.occurrence_set.all().all_occurrences(to_date=date(2016, 1, 1))
            >>> occurrence.all_occurrences(from_date=date(2016, 1, 1),
                                           to_date=date(2016, 12, 31))
        
        ``instance`` is an instance of the corresponding BaseOccurrence
        subclass.
        
        A ``next_occurrence`` method is also provided, taking the same
        arguments, but returning a single occurrence tuple.
        
        ::
        
            >>> event.next_occurrence()
            >>> event.next_occurrence(from_date=date(2016, 1, 1))
        
        The method ``first_occurrence`` also returns a single occurrence tuple,
        but takes no arguments.
        
        Queryset filtering
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Event and Occurrence querysets can be filtered, but due to uncertainty
        with repetitions, ``from_date`` filtering is only an approximation
        (whereas ``to_date`` filtering is accurate). If you need a queryset
        filtered exactly, pass ``exact=True`` - this will filter using generated
        occurrences but still return a queryset - but be careful with this as it
        may be very slow and/or CPU-hungry. For example
        
        ::
        
            >>> MyEvent.objects.for_period(from_date=date(2015, 1, 1),
                                         to_date=date(2015, 12, 31))
            >>> event.occurrence_set.for_period(from_date=date(2015, 1, 1), exact=True)
        
        Sorting querysets
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Event and Occurrence querysets can also be sorted by their next
        occurrence using the ``sort_by_next`` method. By default this sorts
        instances by their first occurrence; the optional ``from_date`` argument
        will sort by the next occurrence after ``from_date``. For example
        
        ::
        
            >>> MyEvent.objects.all().sort_by_next()
            >>> event.occurrence_set.for_period(from_date=date(2015, 1, 1)) \
            >>>      .sort_by_next(date(2015, 1, 1))
        
        Note that this method returns a sorted list, not a queryset.
        
        Custom repeat intervals
        -----------------------
        
        Occurrences can repeat using any interval that can be expressed as an
        `rrulestr <https://labix.org/python-dateutil#head-e987b581aebacf25c7276d3e9214385a12a091f2>`__.
        To customise the available options, set ``EVENTTOOLS_REPEAT_CHOICES`` in
        your django settings. The default value is
        
        ::
        
            EVENTTOOLS_REPEAT_CHOICES = (
                ("RRULE:FREQ=DAILY", 'Daily'),
                ("RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY", 'Weekly'),
                ("RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY", 'Monthly'),
                ("RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY", 'Yearly'),
            )
        
        Set ``EVENTTOOLS_REPEAT_CHOICES = None`` to make repeat a plain-text
        field.
        
        Running tests
        -------------
        
        Use tox (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tox):
        
        ::
        
            > pip install tox
            > cd path-to/django-eventtools
            > tox
