I assume you mean the calendar app included within OSX. It can be 
scripted, start from here: 
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/CalendarScriptingGuide/index.html


The native script language is Apple Script or JavaScript. If you want to 
control it from Python, you need a bridge. I have no experience with it, 
but a quick Google search reveals 
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/py-applescript and 
https://docs.python.org/2/library/macosa.html
