Then, take a look here at zOGI:
http://code.google.com/p/zogi/

There in the wiki, you will besides other interesting stuff, an example sync 
script for persons/companies:
http://code.google.com/p/zogi/wiki/ExampleImportSyncScript
Just replace the person with a Appointment entity:
http://code.google.com/p/zogi/wiki/Appointment
should get you started.

I also started to learn python some weeks ago, just to be able to understand 
and extend the zOGI examples to sync contact data with the ogo database.
It took a little while, but in the end definitely worth the effort.

kind regards
Sebastian
