If you were going to use PyKDE, there is some documentation in the tarball at 
PyKDE/doc/dcopext.html and examples in PyKDE/examples. However, if you've 
already done your UI with wx, your system will get a lot bigger if you use 
PyKDE on top of it. I've never tried mixing and matching PyKDE and wx.

You can also look at (quoting from my docs) "pydcop.py and pcop.cpp written by 
Torben Weis and Julian Rockey. It's available in the dcoppython/ section of 
the kde-bindings source code, and can be used to implement DCOP communication 
without using PyQt or PyKDE."  That's what the PyKDE DCOP stuff is based on 
and you should be able to find that stuff in the kde-bindings source code 
tarball (from ftp.kde.org or mirrors) in the subdir indicated. 

Besides DCOP, PyKDE wouldn't offer you much more for working with korganizer 
and you can do DCOP without PyKDE.
