It is obviously supposed to come from the 'vobject' package, whatever 
that is. I have never heard of vobject before, though. Try reading the 
source if the doc is limited. Or ask the author or mailing list if there 
is one.

Nope

PS You already know the answer to the question you asked in the subject 
line. Better would have been "What is the vobject.readOne function?" to 
catch the eye of someone who *does* know something about vobject.
