[Vobject] reading vCard extracting type_param

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean.  Your responses look fine to me.

Hmm.  Sorry, I confused you with what I sent, apparently. 
textLineToContentLine was just a way for me to describe what I was 
working from, it converts a string into a vobject ContentLine.

If you use readOne, it'll convert a stream into ContentLines for you. 
So, if you're reading in a vCard, you might do something like:

 >>> j = vobject.readOne(f)
 >>> for tel in j.tel_list:
...    if "cell" in tel.singletonparams:
...        # do your logic for the cell number


If you're creating a vCard, you should just do:

 >>> card = vobject.vCard()
 >>> tel = card.add("tel")
 >>> tel.value = "555-5555"
 >>> tel.type_param = "cell"

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
