So in your Event model (or whatever you're calling it), you're essentially storing the keyword arguments to an rrule, depending on what's necessary for a particular event? Then whenever you need to render a calendar, you pull in all the Events from the db, create rrules for each using the stored parameters, and just work with the dateutil library to do the rest?
