On an IMAP server, huh?  So do you have iCalendar attachments to emails
stored in IMAP, or just straight iCalendar?

The short answer is to test if a vevent's magic rruleset attribute is None.

For example, if stream is an icalendar stream:

>>> import vobject
>>> cal = vobject.readOne(stream)
>>> events = cal.vevent_list
>>> recurring_events = [ev for ev in events if ev.rruleset is not None]

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
