This data is stored in the attributes of the event reference objects.  
So for a person you need to get a list of event references and then 
access the attributes and possibly the event itself.  Use code similar to:

for event_ref in person.get_event_ref_list():
     event = db.get_event_from_handle(event_ref.ref)
     for attr in event_ref.get_attribute_list():
         key = attr.get_type()
         value = attr.get_value()

where "person" is the person of interest and "db" is a database instance.
