Using Outlook Calendars with Inkycal

Although Inkycal does not support Outlook calendars officially due to it's different format, it may under circumstances be able to work.

One of the users mentioned an issue about the timezone in outlook calendars, similar to this Traceback:

arrow.parser.ParserError: Could not parse timezone expression "tzone://Microsoft/Custom"

If you do get something similar, you may have some luck with the following suggestion:

Modify the file /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/arrow/parser.py Manually set the variable tzinfo_string to your timezone - in my case Europe/Berlin

    562     @classmethod
    563     def parse(cls, tzinfo_string):
    564
    565         tzinfo = None
    566         tzinfo_string = 'Europe/Berlin'
    567
    568         if tzinfo_string == "local":
    569             tzinfo = tz.tzlocal()

Special thanks to @thorok73 for this find!
