[Vobject] Unable to add photo to vcard (Address Book OS X 10.6.4)

[Roberto Aguilar]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the vobject python module to build a vcard with an embedded photo.  Using the code below, the photo does not show up.  I have tried setting vcard.wacky_apple_photo_serialize to True or False, but that does not help.  I've also tried different variations of the encoding_param, as well as adding/removing the photo type_param.

Additionally, taking a look at vcards with embedded photos, I manually removed the "encoding=" from the photo line, but still no dice.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Roberto.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import base64
import sys

import vobject
from vobject import vcard
vcard.wacky_apple_photo_serialize = False

card = vobject.vCard()

card.add('n')
card.n.value = vobject.vcard.Name(family='smith', given='john')

card.add('fn')
card.fn.value = 'John Smith'

filename = sys.argv[1]
f = open(filename)
data = f.read()
f.close()

b64 = base64.encodestring(data)

card.add('photo')
card.photo.value = b64
#card.photo.type_param = 'JPEG'
card.photo.encoding_param = 'b'

outfile = sys.argv[2]
f = open(outfile, 'wb')
f.write(card.serialize())
f.close()
