Exceptions.SynchronizeConflictError compares the src and sink and
prompts the user to decide which direction the sync should copy data
using times stamps. It doesn't really help you merge the contacts. In
a one way sync it will flag this conflict every time you run, in a two
way sync it might delete the duplicate contact in evolution.

Might get the basic stuff working before worrying about this too much I guess.
