Simple solution: don't use pytz, use python dateutil¹ instead. Vobject  
uses dateutil too and is apparently not compatible with pytz.

The Code should read something like the following (untested):

import datetime
import vobject
from dateutil.tz import *

dt = datetime.datetime(2010,7,1,10,0,0,0,gettz('Europe/Berlin'))

cal = vobject.iCalendar()
event = cal.add('vevent')
event.add('dtstart').value = dt

cal.serialize()

-----

The serialized Calendar should contain all the relevant timezone- 
information.
