Correct, no Python bindings. The other thing, though, is that any roster contact edited by Hermes would end up becoming a "permanent" contact in EDS. I'm not sure that's a good thing; it's certainly not something I want - if I remove an IM account, I want the contact detritus which comes with it gone as well.

There is no warning message in Hermes saying that some of the contacts won't be updated because they are roster contacts [...]

Meh. The main point of Hermes is to make sure you get a nice photo when someone rings you: a) most people have avatars on IM networks already (IME); b) most people on IM networks don't ring you.

Patches welcome (or raise a bug, but I don't think it'll be a high priority one).
