vobject fails to parse this vcard

[Volker-Weissmann]

This code:

import vobject
el = """BEGIN:VCARD

print(vobject.readOne(el))

fails with the message

instead of waiting for the library to be fixed... Seems most/android phone exporters split long lines (>115) this way - ending on '=' then next line starts with '='. Most non-ascii names hit this limit easily.

newvcardtext = vcardtext.replace( '=\n=', '=') works fine joining them back; use on single vcard or over whole vcf file/text, before parsing with vobject.

Thank you, this works.

You must allow QP decoding since the parser knows how to decode it:

print(vobject.readOne(el, allowQP=True))

[Volker-Weissmann]

print(vobject.readOne(el, allowQP=True))

This also works.
