What module is recommended for parsing/generating ical files?

Specifically, I'd like to parse invitations generated by MS Outlook
and generate accept/decline responses.  I've tinkered with iCalendar
1.2, and have had some success after manualling munging/filtering the
data for some fields:

  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/icalendar/1.2

However, I'm not sure it's being maintained.  Despite the claim on the
above page that the current version is 2.1, The latest version I can
find is v1.2 from 2006.

I've also run across vobject:

  http://vobject.skyhouseconsulting.com/

That appears to be a little more active, but I haven't tried it yet.

Is there a canonical "ical" parser/generator module for Python?
