''' | |
A script to search the Mac OS X Address Book via PyObjC bridge, and | |
then output the results in a format suitable for integration with | |
mutt. | |
Add the following to your `.muttrc`: | |
set query_command = "~/.mutt/contacts.py '%s'" | |
bind editor <Tab> complete-query | |
bind editor ^T complete | |
Then, tab-complete emails like a boss. | |

Running this code gives me an error:
./contacts.py 'Tristan'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./contacts.py", line 54, in <module>
for i in range(len(emails)):
TypeError: object of type 'ABMultiValueCoreDataWrapper' has no len()
This is with the latest python AddressBook module.
Any ideas?
