I have confirmed that i have Python 2.5 (have installed Canola, pyculator etc)
Why no work?
No real good ideas on what is going on, but some diagnostics to try. Open an xterm on your NIT and try the following:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.python
rm -f calend_data.dat calend_pref.dat to_do.dat
/usr/bin/calend

The rm command deletes the data files used by the apps, in case somehow there is a corrupted one preventing them from loading. The last command starts calend manually. If you see any interesting error messages with the last command that may help debug this issue.

Other items of interest:
dpkg -l python2.5 # to find your python version
The firmware version of your device, gotten via Settings->Control Panel->About product. Should look something like:
Version: 2.2007.51-3
