SJAA Calendar Generator

Run with:
    python3 cal_gen.py

Generates a schedule of events based on rules.  The intent is to correctly
generate a calendar that is at least 90% accurate.  The app does not:
- take into account holidays,
- detect schedule conflicts between events.

Schedule changes need to be done manually. 

Each type of event is described by an instance of the class "EventType".
The generator takes each such instance and generates one or more instances
of class "Event".  Once the events are generated, the app prints the
schedule and, for event with start times based on twilight, sun/moon
ephemeris times.

The output is strictly for viewing purposes.  The app will be enhanced later
to keep a database.


Libraries:
Install modules as follows:
    pip3 install ephem
    pip3 install pytz
