The implementation of the interface contacts.AbstractContactSynchronizationModule for VCF file persistence backend

Instance Methods

[hide private]

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

source code

_promptFilename(self, prompt, default=None, description=None)
Asks for user input on console

source code

_guessAmount(self)
Try to determine roughly how many entries are in this file (we can't know prior to parsing; but we have a guess using the file size)

source code

load(self)
Load all data from local VCF file

source code

_checkForMandatoryFields(self)
Checks each entry, whether all mandatory fields are available.

source code

saveModifications(self)
Save whatever changes have come by

source code

Inherited from contacts.contacts.AbstractContactSynchronizationModule: addContact, allContacts, flush, getContact, removeContact, replaceContact

Inherited from contacts.contacts.AbstractContactSynchronizationModule (private): _dePrefixNumbers, _prefixNumbers

Inherited from pisiinterfaces.AbstractSynchronizationModule: addEntry, allEntries, getDescription, getEntry, getName, postProcess, preProcess, prettyPrint, removeEntry, replaceEntry

Method Details

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.

Overrides: pisiinterfaces.AbstractSynchronizationModule.__init__

load(self)

source code

Load all data from local VCF file

File opened and the entries are parsed. For each entry a contacts.contacts.Contact instance is created and stored in the instance dictionary contacts.AbstractContactSynchronizationModule._allContacts.

_checkForMandatoryFields(self)

source code

Checks each entry, whether all mandatory fields are available.

Delegates request to vobjecttools.

saveModifications(self)

source code

Save whatever changes have come by

We first make a backup of the old file. Then, the entire set of information is dumped into a new file. (I hope, you don't mind the order of your entries). Thereby, we shouldn't create entries from the scratch when they were not changed in the meantime (in the likely case of PISI not supporting all fields within the VCF format and file).
