  Export format, perhaps, but not the only way to get that data out. You 
can extract bits through the AddressBook API provided by Apple, so 
perhaps a small C library wrapped by SWIG would allow Python to 
interact with AddressBook in a much more useful fashion. I started 
looking at this, but didn't get very far as my spare time is 
non-existant these days. iCal has no API yet, so you are stuck with 
using AppleEvents or just dealing with the raw data files.
