Support contact phone, address, groups, birthday etc

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For google 0.9.5 the only supported data items (named "styles" here for some 
reason) for contacts seem to be name and email.  When multiple email addresses 
are present, the emails are listed separated by blanks, without clarification 
of whether they are home, work or other.

"google contacts list name,url" always returns "N/A" for the url.

Trying to list the "where" style (which might be used for the address) yields a 
traceback and an exception "AttributeError: 'ContactEntry' object has no 
attribute 'where'"

Please add support for

Yes, I'd like to be able to choose fields too. At least there should be some 
documentation which fields are supported. For now you can just infer that name 
and email are working from the example.

I have slightly looked into this and will try and work on it some this weekend 
because I would like this too.

Hi, 

While playing with this I felt the need for getting the telephone numbers. Find 
attached a patch which implements this.

Telephone numbers are normalized (stripped (,),- and spaces and leading 00 is 
changes with +) and printed as email addresses, that is, sepparated by a space.

Patch is against trunk.

To query the iformation just do: ./google contacts list name,phone

I haven't had time to get around to this yet.  Go ahead Tom and I will look at 
other issues to pick up.  Past week has been a bit busy.

Accessing all the desired information is apparently unsupported until version 3 
of the protocol... but r329 makes a dent in this request.

OK, as of r380, the following fields are supported (for gdata-python-client >= 
2.0.10, probably >= 2.0 is fine)

'address' - postal addresses.
'birthday' - birthday. 
'company' - company name.
'email' - email address(es).
'event' - events such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
'im' - instant messanger handles.
'name' - full name.
'nickname' - nickname.
'notes' - notes on a contact.
'organization' - company or organization.
'phone' - phone numbers.
'relation' - names of relations, such as manager, spouse, etc.
'title' - job title.
'user_defined' or 'other' - custom labels.
'website' - websites and links.

The only thing I think I'm missing is what groups the contact belongs to. Can 
anyone else think of a field I haven't covered yet?

0.9.10 contains the aforementioned additional fields. Group names is still 
missing. It's not actually data that gets transmitted along with a contact -- 
only the group-id (an unhelpful string of letters and numbers).

I'm going to mark this fixed, as all the primary goals were met. I created a 
separate issue for dealing with groups, issue 292. Please star that if you'd 
like to see better support for listing groups.

We can list phone numbers and birthdays, but how do you ADD to those fields?

Creating a contact with anything besides name and email isn't supported yet, 
but it would be rather nice. Create an enhancement issue! Or better yet, write 
the code yourself :)
