Python contact importer

Allows to export user contacts from Google, Yahoo! and Hotmail. Uses OAuth protocol for working with Google and Yahoo!. And Microsoft's "Delegated authentification" for Hotmail.

Requires:

python-oauth2 (https://github.com/simplegeo/python-oauth2)
PyCrypto

Google contact export:

For using a Google contact export via OAuth protocol you need "consumer_key" and "consumer_secret" keys generated by Google for you domain. You can register your domain and get those keys here: https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageDomains

Yahoo!:

Also "consumer_key" and "consumer_secret" keys needed. App creating link: https://developer.apps.yahoo.com/dashboard/createKey.html

Windows Live

For hotmail contact export we need Client ID and Secret key. Detail app creating doc - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc287659.aspx Application creating - https://manage.dev.live.com/Applications/Index

Settings example:

CONTACT_IMPORT_SETTINGS = {
    'google': { 'consumer_key': 'example.com', 'consumer_secret': 'bYG3xo_b-4cP7Yre1leF9Qsn' },
    'yahoo': {
        'consumer_key': 'dj0yJmk9ekN2dKHGgyZNjZWJmQ9WVdrOe9Fb3hhbTFXTkdrbWNHbzlNVGd5TXpNMU5ESTJNLJNKJDnsjdktXxpxNyZXQmeD1mZA--',
        'consumer_secret': '8712039132519876cdsv78dv9b04d29afb9'
    },
    'hotmail': {
        'consumer_key': '0004503076062AD7',
        'consumer_secret': '1AbHKgvjHu9Hi6RKg4mCeWybmNqCUE2',
        'policy_url': 'http://example.com/terms/'
    }
}

Usage (with Django):

urls.py:

# ...
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # ...
    url(r'^contact-import/$', 'views.import_contacts', name='import_contacts'),
    # ...
)

views.py:

from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required

from contact_importer.decorators import get_contacts

@csrf_exempt # Windows Live returns POST request
@login_required
@get_contacts
def import_contacts(request, contact_provider):
    contacts = contact_provider.get_contact_list()
    return render_to_response('contact_list.html', {
        'contacts': contacts,
    }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

contact_list.html:

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}
    <ul>
        {% for contact in contacts %}
            <li>{{ contact.name }} - {{ contact.emails }}</li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% endblock %}

Important!

Each your request to import_contacts should has a GET param "service"

For example if you want to get contacts from Google your request should be http://example.com/import_contacts?service=google

For Yahoo!: http://example.com/import_contacts?service=yahoo

And Hotmail: http://example.com/import_contacts?service=hotmail

First of all user will be redirected to the contact provider page, after approving he will be back to the site and his contacts will be imported.
