Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self, modulesString, config, configsection, folder, verbose=False, soft=False)
(Constructor)

source code 

Constructor

Super class constructor (contacts.AbstractContactSynchronizationModule.__init__) is called. Local variables are initialized. The settings from the configuration file are loaded. The connection to the Google Gdata backend is established.

Parameters:
  • modulesString - is a small string to help you make a unique id. It is the two modules configuration-names concatinated.
  • config - is the configuration from ~/.pisi/conf. Use like config.get(configsection,'user')
  • configsection - is the configuration from ~/.pisi/conf. Use like config.get(configsection,'user')
  • folder - is a string with the location for where your module can save its own files if necessary
  • verbose - should make your module "talk" more
  • soft - should tell you if you should make changes (ie. save)
Overrides: pisiinterfaces.AbstractSynchronizationModule.__init__

_unpackGoogleTitle(self, atts, gtitle)

source code 

Takes the components of a Google Title apart (all names)

The whole thing is about guessing - check code for details.

_unpackPostalCity(self, line)

source code 

Takes one address line apart and identifies postal code and locality

This is really tricky - you never know how many parts belong to which side - and it's all in one line. We do it this way:

  • only one item indicates city only
  • two items one each
  • more than two - depending on the length of the first item, another item is applied to the postal code; all the remaining stuff is city

_unpackGooglePostalAddress(self, atts, addressText, type)

source code 

Takes the components of a Google address apart

The whole thing is about guessing - check code for details.

load(self)

source code 

Load all data from backend

A single query is performed and the result set is parsed afterwards.

_saveOperationModify(self, id)

source code 

Applies changes for an entry to the Google contacts backend

In order to keep things simple the old value is simply erased using the method _saveOperationDelete and a new one is inserted (_saveOperationAdd).

saveModifications(self)

source code 

Save whatever changes have come by

The _history variable is iterated. The corresponding function is called for each action.
