Description

I want to use khal just for printing iCal files in neomutt. I don't need any of the calendar management functionality. Can khal figure out datetime formats from my locale and use that as a sane default?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how khal currently loads configuration and handles datetime formats. Look at the locale module and how other Python tools auto detect locale. Propose a fallback to use system locale for datetime defaults when no config file is present.
