Hi, Thanks for the information.
I just wanted to import all those contacts and as such I needed something that works. Fortunately it was easy enough to hack that existing script. I know practically zero of Python, I'm more of a C or Perl guy :) so integrating with paroli-settings or whatever is probably not gonna happen from me, sadly :( Rui On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 01:08:04PM +0200, Laszlo KREKACS wrote: > On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 9:14 AM, Rui Miguel Silva Seabra<[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I fixed a python script that imports VCF files into Paroli. > > > > I'd like to make it do a better job, but I'd need Paroli's > > contacts DB structure, Mirko, do you have a description somewhere? > > > Paroli Contacts format is cPickle.
