About

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 (and with other MUAs).

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, requests and pysqlite.

Features

(or rather: limitations)

  • pyCardDAV is only tested against davical, owncloud and sabredav
  • pyCardDAV can import the sender's address directly from mutt
  • pyCardDAV can backup and import to/from .vcf files
  • pyCardDAV can add email addresses directly from mutt
  • pyCardDAV only understands VCard 3.0
  • pyCardDAV is not python 3 compatible yet
