What gave you that impression, if you don't mind my asking? It's true that Python's built-in application scripting support (aetools+gensuitemodule) has become increasingly broken on OS X and should be avoided. Third-party support has been continually improving over the last few years, however, and these days is pretty much on-par with AppleScript in terms of functionality.

The CALCore framework is private in OS X 10.4, so the usual disclaimers apply w.r.t. using that. See <http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?CALCore> for a basic example of use. Scuttlebutt says there'll be a public iCal framework in 10.5, although that won't help the OP right now unless they're a paid-up ADC member. has -- http://appscript.sourceforge.net http://rb-appscript.rubyforge.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
