[Bitpim-devel] Running on python 2.2

[Peter Pletcher]

First of all, thanks to y'all for writing this tool!

Here are a couple patches I needed to get bitpim
running.

My python 2.2 does not have 'enumerate' for sequences.
Here is a patch to get around that:

line.append(row.get(k, defaults[i]))
+ i += 1
newdata.append(line)

# return our hard work

I don't have an 'addressbook.db' file locally. The
'brute force' (return first folder) code needs this:

Pawing around in the DB file seems iffy to me, so I'm
working on querying the evolution EBook interface
instead. More soon.

We use Python 2.3 for the binary distributions of
BitPim. Unless someone can convince me otherwise,
I intend to place the same requirements for working
from source as a developer.

I did post a few weeks ago about how to get
Python 2.3 plus all the other stuff working
for RedHat 9.

I completely agree about the iffyness of reading the DB
files directly. I couldn't find any other method of
doing it.

With Outlook, it even provides the gui code for selecting
a folder. I had to write all that myself for Evolution.

I presume there is some way of getting information out
of kaddressbook, but I am not writing any more import
code myself (others are always free to submit it
of course).

so it is a resend]
