makediary - Print a Year Diary

Program to generate a year diary in PostScript or PDF format on one of a range of paper sizes. Requires Python (2.4 or later), Python Imaging Library, mxDateTime, and optionally ps2pdf.

Current version is 0.2.3.

Changes in 0.2.3:

• Output to diary.ps (or diary.pdf) instead of stdout.
• Allow titles on image pages.
• Allow printing Northern Hemisphere moons.
• Optionally allow filling in the personal information page from a config file.
• Allow an image to span two facing pages, with an optional title.
• Shade all the day titles, and shade weekends and holidays darker.
• Start appointments at 9am instead of 7am.
• Clean up the appointments code.
• Add a units page, like all the diaries I see in the newsagents.

Changes in 0.2.2:

• Allow starting the diary on an arbitrary day with --start-date.
• Allow an arbitrary title on the cover page.
• Add option for large planner pages, patch from Alfredo Pironti.
• Depend on python 2.4, not 2.3.
• Fix for strftime on windows, which does not have the %e expando.
• PDF output via ps2pdf.
