You may want to check vcalsax, available at
http://www.logilab.org/vcalsax/. This module reads a vcalendar file (used
by korganizer and gnomecal, which looks a lot like rfc822), and emits SAX2
events so that it is possible to process the file as if it were XML, and
thus, for example build a DOM tree out of it.
