6.4 Contacts

The Contacts service enables Python applications to access and manage contacts information. This information can reside in one or more contacts databases stored on a device or, in the SIM card database.
It enables applications to perform the following operations on the Contacts Database:

Retrieve contact or group information
Add contact or group
Edit a particular contact or group
Import and export a contact
Delete a contact or group item

The following sample code is used to load the provider:

import scriptext
contact_handle = scriptext.load('Service.Contact', 'IDataSource')

The following table summarizes the Contacts Interface:

Service provider	`Service.Contact`
