I still use iCal, since...

I still use iCal, since it syncs to .Mac and my work machine easily.

I decided not to upgrade my Palm, because I realized that my excuse was to take my address book anywhere, and what I really wanted was an expensive toy. So, I print out my address book every so often and keep it in my car. I haven’t been using it long enough to offer a firm recommendation, though.

What I want is to be able to read the iCal calendar files without having to launch iCal, using Python (or C or Perl or whatever). If someone can point me to something like that, I’d appreciate it. I want to use it to write a program that tells me today’s and tomorrow’s to-dos.
