There is a "competing" project at https://github.com/geier/khal - you may want to check it out - it's more mature but probably more complex. It's using a "vsyncdir" backend - if I've understood it correctly, that involves building a local copy of the calendar.

There is a "competing" project at https://github.com/geier/khal - you may want to check it out - it's more mature but probably more complex. khal uses a "vdir" backend; a local directory with icalendar files. It is designed to operate offline (while some other tool can optionally synchronise this with a remote server). The philosophy behind plann and calendar-cli is the opposite: interact directly with a caldav server; no synchronisation, no local storage, just client-side operations.
