Gmail contacts

["Adi J. Sieker" <adi sieker info>]

Hello all,

I just pushed a new version of the Gmail contacts enhancements to my 
github clone.

https://github.com/adsworth/kupfer/

Again I'm interested in all and any feedback.

I made one change to the LargeType action. Originally it used 
leaf.object to fetch the text to display.
Since I like to LargeType my phone numbers and addresses when viewing 
them I had to change leaf.object to leaf.get_description(). Since in the 
case of the contact leafs self.object is a dictionary and that can't be 
large typed.
The one downside, which I'm not sure how to solve, is that now LargeType 
doesn't display the complete text from a TextLeaf. It only displays the 
description.
If someone knows of a clean way of reusing LargeType please let me know.

Also the IM contacts for Skype and Jabber always have the Status 
"Unkown". This is because the status is passed in the construction of 
the Leaf. I didn't want to replicate the whole status logic for Skype 
and jabber in my code.

There is also one issue I have, which I can't figure out. If I activate 
the Skype plugin none of my Gmail contacts show up anymore. No idea why.

Also I just realized that when shutting down kupfer the pickleing of the 
source breaks because it can't pickle a generator.
I guess I'll have to rework get_contacts to return a list instead of 
yielding the leaves. Althoug I remember Ulrik suggesting to yield 
instead of returning a list.

Regards
   Adi
