python kolab connection

[Bernhard Reiter]

Hi Dick,

nice plan, I would love to see a Python client library.
Note that you should followup with those questions on the kolab-devel 
mailinglist as this is where the experts are. 
Some questions are even for the kolab-format list.

You need both the imap and the object id.
