+weight.  It turns out that elmcity uses the icalendar_ parsing

+RDFCalendar_:
+  A tool for converting between iCalendars and RDF.
+Py-Calendar_:
+  A sparsely documented library.  There's a lot of code in here, but I

+pyICSParser_:
+  Another sparsely documented library.  Again, there's a lot of code

+PyCal_:
+  A (dead?) package.  The PyPI links don't go anywhere.
