The problem I see is that they attacj directly the berkeleydb storage...

therefor, they must know how the data is stored and structured. If the
storage changes, it will break.

- --> I'ld rather have a python wrapper around some evolution addressbook
library, to work at a higher level...

like that:

ebook = ebook_open("local")

for contacts in ebook.contacts:
        ...
