Edit contact phone numbers using Python

This sample shows the creation of a contact using the Google Contacts API. The phone number for the contact is then removed by editing the local contact entry object and uploading. At the ned, the script asks you to press enter before deleting the test contact.

import gdata.contacts.service
import atom
import gdata.contacts
import getpass

client = gdata.contacts.service.ContactsService()
client.email = raw_input('Please enter your email address')
client.password = getpass.getpass()
client.source = 'Google-ContactsGetTest-1.0'
client.ProgrammaticLogin()

name = 'Fred'
notes = 'Test entry'
primary_email = 'test2903488769871632@example.com'
new_contact = gdata.contacts.ContactEntry(title=atom.Title(text=name))
new_contact.content = atom.Content(text=notes)
new_contact.email.append(gdata.contacts.Email(address=primary_email,
                         primary='true', rel=gdata.contacts.REL_WORK))
new_contact.phone_number.append(gdata.contacts.PhoneNumber(
    rel=gdata.contacts.REL_OTHER, text='555-1212-3242'))
entry = client.CreateContact(new_contact)

if entry:
  print 'Creation successful!'
  print 'Edit link for the new contact:', entry.GetEditLink().href
else:
  print 'Upload error.'

# Remove the phone number
del entry.phone_number[0]

updated = client.UpdateContact(entry.GetEditLink().href, entry)
if updated:
  print 'Update successful!'
  print 'Edit link for the updated contact:', updated.GetEditLink().href
else:
  print 'Upload error.'

raw_input('enter to delete')
client.Delete(updated.GetEditLink().href)
