hi,
still having trouble with my interactive query to evolution. python has
evolution bindings so i thought it would be nice to integrate python and
emacs using pymacs. i'm running into an issuethat i think is pymacs'
fault, i'm hoping someone on the list uses pymacs and can help.
i wrote this little python function, which returns a list of names and
addresses:
def return_addresslist (queryterm):
results = abook.search(queryterm)
names =[]
for record in results:
name = str(record.get_name())
print type(name)
address = str(record.get_property('email_1'))
names.append(name + " " + "<" + address +">")
for i in ["2","3"]:
if record.get_property('email_' + i):
address = record.get_property('email_' + i)
record.get_property('email_' + i)
names.append(name + ' '+ "<" + address +">")
return names
then in an elisp file, i try e.g.:
(pymacs-load "edsquery")
(setq collection (edsquery-return-addresslist "matt"))
which assigns this value to collection:
("Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>" "Matt Price <moptop99@gmail.com>"
"Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>" "Matt Zimmerman <mdz@canonical.com>"
"Matt Fontaine <Matty_fontaine@hotmail.com>" "Matt Wilks
<matt@madhaus.cns.utoronto.ca>" "Matthew Yates <myatesmyates@yahoo.com>"
"Matthew Flaschen <matthew.flaschen@gatech.edu>" "Matthew Vermeulen
<MattVermeulen@gmail.com>" "Matthew East <matt@mdke.org>" "matthewreedy
<matthewreedy@yahoo.com>" "Matthias Dörries
<matthias.doerries@gersulp.u-strasbg.fr>" ...)
my problem comes with a test function that triesto use the results of a
query as a collection for tab-completion:
(defun matt/external-addressbook-completion (stub)
"get a list of addresses for tab-completion in a new email"
(interactive (list (completing-read "Name: "
(edsquery-return-addresslist (string))
;; collection
nil t))))
the function works properly if i use the list "collection" generated as
above, but does not give any completion options if the python function
is called instead.
in the *Pymacs* buffer i noticesomething that seems important. when i
call the python function direction with (edsquery-python-addressbook
"matt), i have this message:
>23 eval python[1]("matt")
[]
<600 (return '("Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>" "Matt Price
<moptop99@gmail.com>" "Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>" "Matt Zimmerman
<mdz@canonical.com>" "Matt Fontaine <Matty_fontaine@hotmail.com>" "Matt Wilks
<matt@madhaus.cns.utoronto.ca>" "Matthew Yates <myatesmyates@yahoo.com>"
"Matthew Flaschen <matthew.flaschen@gatech.edu>" "Matthew Vermeulen
<MattVermeulen@gmail.com>" "Matthew East <matt@mdke.org>" "matthewreedy
<matthewreedy@yahoo.com>" "Matthias D\303\266rries
<matthias.doerries@gersulp.u-strasbg.fr>" "Matt Davey <mcdavey@mrao.cam.ac.uk>"
"Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>"))
but when calling from completing-read, i get this instead:
>19 eval python[1]("")
[]
<14 (return 'nil)
to me it seems that the completion function isn't being sent the input
string. but i can't understand why this should be, as identical syntax
works with straight lisp functions.
