Here's a snippet for adding a contact from the command line:

PHP Code:


			
#!/usr/bin/env python

#

# Please let me know if this works without python-gnome2 installed!

#



USE='Use: addressbook add_contact given-name=John family-name=Doe email-1=johndoe@example.com'



import os

import sys

import evolution



def quit( message):

    sys.stderr.write("%s\n"% message)

    exit( 1)



if 0 == os.getuid():

    quit('Not as root please')



adb = evolution.ebook.open_addressbook('default')



# Not listing contact because already covered: http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/usr/local/bin/contact

#def list_contacts( args):

#    for contact in adb.get_all_contacts():

#        print [contact.get_property(ppt) for ppt in ['full-name', 'mobile-phone']]



if len( sys.argv) < 3 or sys.argv[1] != 'add_contact':

    quit( USE)



ct = evolution.ebook.EContact()



for arg in sys.argv[2:]:

    name, value = arg.split('=')

    ct.set_property( name, value)



adb.add_contact( ct)

There's also a longer script that can list in YAML and VCARD and add and remove contacts.
