Jppy: Group scheduling features?

[Nicholas Piper]

Hi Lars,

Very sorry for the lag, real work (tm) has more than taken over me
right now.

Current Jppy CVS doesn't have calendar support I'm afraid. I added
about half of it, before a disk crash, but that was lost and not
redone yet!

Not yet, but it's easy to add contacts once you get them into 'python
space'. I'm still wishing for a Python vcard handler, but until then
you can probably extend the C part of Jppy to use versit to parse the
vcard.

It's probably possible, but tricky. I've just finished reading a book
on the autotools, so my next bit of free time will be spent redoing
the build system, to make it actually work a bit :-)

See contact_generate_vcard() in http://snipurl.com/9870 for an example
of generating vCards.
