Scrape CinemaCon schedule and generate Outlook-importable calendar

[Copilot]

Adds a Python tool that fetches the CinemaCon schedule from https://www.cinemacon.com/en/schedule-of-events, parses all events, and emits a standards-compliant .ics file importable into Outlook (or any iCalendar app).

New modules

• scraper.py — Fetches and parses the schedule page via three progressive strategies: table-based → heading+card → plain-text heuristic fallback. Handles a.m./p.m. dot-notation, shared AM/PM suffixes (6:30–8:45 p.m.), 24-hour formats, and auto-detects the event year from page content.
• calendar_integration.py — Converts CinemaConEvent objects to RFC 5545 VEVENT entries. Uses zoneinfo.ZoneInfo("America/Los_Angeles") for correct DST-aware UTC conversion (PDT/PST). Falls back to a 1-hour duration when end time is absent.
• main.py — CLI entry point with --output, --url, and --verbose flags.

Usage

pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py                        # → cinemacon_events.ics
python main.py --output my_cal.ics

Import into Outlook via File → Open & Export → Import/Export → Import an iCalendar (.ics) file.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• attractionsmagazine.com
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node --enable-source-maps /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/copilot-developer-action-main/dist/index.js (dns block)
• thedirect.com
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node --enable-source-maps /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/copilot-developer-action-main/dist/index.js (dns block)
• www.cinemacon.com
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node --enable-source-maps /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/copilot-developer-action-main/dist/index.js (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
