Digging harder into the epydoc documentation I finally found
vobject.vobject.readOne().

However having twice been befuddled by vobject, once when using it for
vCard and this time using it for vCal I've decided to move back to the
python-icalendar I was using before.

The only reason I tried to use vobject is that it's in the Ubuntu
repositories (I doing this on an xubuntu system), but it doesn't
appear to have a current maintainer and python-icalendar does so even
though it's a 'manual' install I'm sticking with python-icalendar.
