Status Update Spring 2012

Write support is still not finished, some other tasks used up most of my time (mostly work). But while it's not finished yet, editing and uploading cards is working pretty well for me at the moment. So, in case someone wants to test write support, I have set up a new branch called beta into which I will pull versions that have no (major) known bugs. You can check out this branch as follows:

git clone -b beta https://github.com/geier/pycarddav.git

If you stumble upon any bugs not mentioned in todo.rst, please let me now. Please backup your data BEFORE testing any of this!

But while I didn't finish write support, I created a new website for pyCardDAV, with the help of pelican and bootstrap. The new site features an atom feed for all news regarding pyCardDAV and one that only informs about new releases.

Also pycarddav's URL has changed (but the old download links will continue to work). SSL is now available, too.

About pyCardDAV

pyCardDAV is a simple to use CardDAV CLI client. It has built in support for mutt's query_command but also works very well solo.

pyCardDAV consists of pycardsyncer, a program for syncing your CardDAV resource into a local database and of pc_query, a program for querying the local database. pyCardDAV is some ugly python code (actually, it's not that bad anymore…) that holds together vobject, lxml, PyCurl and pysqlite.

Features

(or rather: limitations)

pyCardDAV can only use one addressbook resource at the moment
pyCardDAV is read-only for now (but write support is coming really soon™)
pyCardDAV is only tested against davical and owncloud/sabredav
Warning your password is stored in cleartext in the config file

Please do provide feedback if pyCardDAV works for you or even more importantly if it doesn't. You can reach me by email at pycarddav (a) lostpackets (dot) de , by jabber/XMPP at geier (a) jabber.ccc.de or via github
