Crash on no repetitions for new event

[terriblephrases]

I was trying out calcure, but quickly hit a crash while adding a new repeating event, after having just pressed enter when asked how many repetitions I wanted:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/.local/bin/calcure", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(cli())
  File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/calcure/__main__.py", line 838, in cli
    curses.wrapper(main)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/curses/__init__.py", line 94, in wrapper
    return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
  File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/calcure/__main__.py", line 782, in main
    control_monthly_screen(stdscr, user_events, screen, importer)
  File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/calcure/controls.py", line 113, in control_monthly_screen
    if reps > 0 and freq is not None:
TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'

The crash is an easy fix, but it looks like it's impossible at the moment to make an infinitely repeating event except by adding anniversaries in abook, or somehow adding them in the holidays package?

Thank you for reporting, indeed it crashes on empty number of repetitions. I'll fix it, it is easy.

About the infinite repetitions, it can't be done due to current design (there's actual list of all events created), however it can be a large number. Currently the maximum is 100, but I'll increase it to 10000 or something large (I'll test how it works with memory).

Ah, I see. What I was trying to do was just to add indefinitely repeating yearly events that weren't covered by abook or holidays but I suppose even 100 would be sufficient for practical purposes, really.

[anufrievroman]

Yes, actually the maximum is 999 repetitions, which is probably okay for all practical purposes.
By the way, commit 3920653 fixes the mentioned bug. It is fixed in version 2.1. Thank you again for reporting.
