This is a script to turn a directory full of vCard files into a single CSV file. Not all of the vCard fields are preserved; only name, phone numbers, email, and notes.
It can also be imported and used as a module.
If you encounter an error like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "vcard-to-csv.py", line 2, in <module>
import vobject # to parse vCard (vcf) files
ImportError: No module named vobject
then you need to install the python vobject library, which you can do with pip:
pip install vobject
It is also in the major package managers.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/python-vobject/
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-vobject
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-vobject
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-vobject/
The vCard files must have the suffix .vcf.
Simply run the script in the directory containing the vCard files and specify the output filename:
python vcard-to-csv.py foo.csv
Only a few of the vCard fields are preserved; this may be undesirable.
vCard version 4.0 has not been implemented, though it would probably be straightforward to do so.
See the to-do list for more.
