mencal2: a menstruation calendar

Description

Displays one or more months of calendars with PMS and menstruation info. A Python version of mencal that fixes several bugs I encountered while using it. Mencal2 is able to use existing .mencalrc files, or allows for a newer mencal2rc format with greater flexibility for adding multiple people.

Usage:

NAME is a case-insensitive name given on the command line or specified in either the ~/.mencalrc or ~/.mencal2rc

color is one of:
black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white, brightblack, brightred, brightgreen, brightyellow, brightblue, brightmagenta, brightcyan, brightwhite

Options:

--version

show program's version number and exit

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-q, --quiet

no top information will be printed

-v, --verbose

increase verbosity

-1

show current month (default)

-3

show previous, current, and next month

-y YEAR, --year=YEAR

show the entire year

-n, --nocolor

don't color the results

-i COLOR, --icolor=COLOR, --intersection=COLOR, --intersection-color=COLOR

the color used to display the intersection of multiple days

.mencalrc format
