Sylpheed-claws: importing Evolution address book ??

[Vincent Trouilliez]

Hello,

I am hoping someone can save my bacon...

I am trying to migrate from Evolution to Sylpheed-claws.
I have moved all my mail, and re-created all my filters.
Now the final touch consists of importing my Evolution address book !

on this page:
http://claws.sylpheed.org/tools.php
I spotted a python script that apparently aims at doing just that, and
implies that I must first export my Evolution addressbook as a "vCard".
I did that, but then when I run the script, it fails to convert it.

First error was a complaint about a non-ascii character in the script,
line 5, code 0xA9. I looked at script with a hex editor, and found it
was a "copyright" symbol in the script header. So I deleted it.
But then it complained that it failed to find some file in ~/.sylpheed.
Indeed, there is no such directory on my system, instead it's
~/.sylpheed-2.0. So I updated the script to reflect that slight change.
After that it seems happier and eventually start processing my vCard
file, buuuut, it soon stops and reports errors:

got exception:  unsubscriptable object
got exception, cleaning up the mess... changed files will be restored...


This time I have no clue what's wrong ! :-/
I fear the script failed to parse the vCard for some reason. I fear the
script is too old and might not have been tested against the current
release of Evolution ! :-(

BTW I run the script this way: $python script.py .....
I don't even know if that's the way to run these scripts, not knowing
ANYthing about Python in general !

Any help will be immensely appreciated indeed ! :-)

Regards,

--
Vince
