Oooh, exciting. That's new; I dunno if they've released it yet.

I've already looked source code of Hermes, and in contact.py the author[...]
...that's me :-)...

[...]used abook as import statement
Not that I can see. I was wrong, it doesn't use abook at the moment (it did in an earlier version). contacts.py uses ctypes to access the low-level C API of libebook (i.e. Evolution), due to limitations in python-evolution.

Whereas, hermes.py uses the "proper" Python API: python-evolution.

Sorry for any confusion. Anyway, you can access libabook via ctypes; I've done it in earlier versions of Hermes; but it's not very Pythonic.
