Hmm.. Is your memo32 db private? Could you send it me? Please also try
removing it or using a blank Memo32DB. You can get a blank one from
http://cvs.zanu.org.uk/svn/jppy/trunk/home/.jpilot/Memo32DB.pdb
. Don't forget to clear out your pc3 too.

Sure, the main advantage of this library is the Python API :-) I use
it to programatically process my data.

Try:

import jppy
for r in jppy.addressBook().records(search="piper"):
  print r['firstname'], r['lastname']

(obviously with a name that you'll match :-) )

print r.keys() will then show you what fields are available. You can
make vcard files like this:

open('/tmp/card.vcf','w').write(r.vcard())
