Trouble Parsing Author XML

[pawl]

I'm trying to get your library working on this xml feed: http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/dallasmakerspace.org_6ipmavoef85vn59hlsbhgei4ok%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calendar_test.py", line 7, in <module>
    for event in cal.parse_calendar():
  File "/home/paul/talking-bots/Python-GoogleCalendarParser/calendar_parser.py", line 245, in parse_xml
    self.author = metadata[1].contents[6].next.next.next
IndexError: list index out of range

Maybe this library should be using xpath to navigate through the xml instead?

Similar issue with this feed: https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/scsequtd48ntpojbloff8782ps%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "calendar_parser.py", line 250, in parse_xml
    metadata[1].contents[6].contents[5].next.next.contents[1].next)
IndexError: list index out of range

Is there any workaround for this?

For a project with a Google Calendar feed, I used ElementTree and parsed the feed by hand.

I moved on to Google calendar v3 API. Overkill for what I am doing but works anyway.
