[Solved] Ex-/Import of a public Adressbook

robing

You need to add the root folder, so if you subfolder in under the default contacts folder then you need to do

python contact2csv.py --user username --folder "Contacts/subfolder" --export

Hi robin,

when i try to run the script I get 2 Errors:

[root@server kopano-python]# python contact2csv.py --public --folder "All_Adressen" --export
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "contact2csv.py", line 243, in <module>
    main()
  File "contact2csv.py", line 109, in main
    print('running script for \'{}\'').format(user)
ValueError: zero length field name in format

what is wrong here?
and, what should I do with the two date values?
PR_WEDDING_ANNIVERSARY and PR_BIRTHDAY need to be converted to Epoch timestamp.
how do I convert them?

Hi,
is it possible to export categories? When i run the script, everything works well, but the .csv file doesn’t show any categories/labels.

@segro are you running python 2.6 perhaps ?

segro

it sounds like I should an other version? kopano is on Centos6 / webapp on Centos7 with php56
[root@mail ~]# python -V
Python 2.6.6
[root@mail ~]# ssh webapp
[root@webapp ~]# python -V
Python 2.7.5
[root@webapp ~]#

The script is using a .format syntax which is only supported on python 2.7 or higher.
You could fix it yourself though
Replace {} with {0} in the line should do the trick.

segro

it seems to be a little difficult on centos6.
first I installed python 2.7 from redhat

yum --enablerepo=centos-sclo-rh -y install python27
...
[root@mail kopano]# python2.7 contacts2csv.py --user username --export
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "contacts2csv.py", line 13, in <module>
    import zarafa as kopano
ImportError: No module named zarafa

also I tried python33 from that repo, but :

please install python3-kopano

but there is no python3-kopano package for Centos-6 :-(

Replacing all {} with {0} finaly works, but I have to comment out the two lines with Wedding and birthda (how to solve this?)

export is working with that, but import is still with error:

 python contacts2csv.py --public --folder TEST --import test_contacts.csv
running script for 'Public store'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "contacts2csv.py", line 308, in <module>
    main()
  File "contacts2csv.py", line 237, in main
    new_item.mapiobj.SetProps([SPropValue(getattr(MAPI.Util,headers[num]), value)])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/MAPICore.py", line 289, in SetProps
    def SetProps(self, *args): return _MAPICore.IMAPIProp_SetProps(self, *args)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xdf' in position 10: ordinal not in range(128)
[root@mail kopano]#```

thanks,

@segro

It seems you have a unicode issue there is a ß somewhere in your csv, I am not sure if value.encode(‘utf-8’) will fix your issue you could give it a try.

segro

thank you for the quick response, … where should I put the value.encode in the script?
line 237
new_item.mapiobj.SetProps([SPropValue(getattr(MAPI.Util,headers[num]), value.encode(‘utf-8’))])
but did not fix:

  File "contacts2csv.py", line 237, in main
    new_item.mapiobj.SetProps([SPropValue(getattr(MAPI.Util,headers[num]), value.encode('utf-8'))])
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'encode'

Just in case someone stumbles across this old thread:

Adding

reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

right after the

import(sys)

solved the problem for me.
