Now obviously I'm for putting kab in pyKDE :) I'm not sure
what kjs exactly does - but working in python and then
allowing java-script for scripting - doesn't make much sense
to me.
kjs is in PyKDE because it fits in with khtml (and more likely
because it was fairly easy to add).
For the problem I want kab for - python play out its strenghs
when dealing with conversions between different sorts of
(string-based) formats. And there's plethorea of
PDA/CellPhones out there, that could benefit from an fairly
easy way to be synchronized, because all of them have their
own format...
It seems like a good Python application to me - the first program
I did with Python/PyKDE was an address book (before I started
maintaining PyKDE).
Of course I'm not sure what kdepim is up to - maybe they will
change great parts of the related interface, so putting effort
into kab would make not much sense - at least now. Does
anybody know what they are going to change for kde 3.2?
Just from looking at 3.2 briefly, it appears that the address
book application (along with KMail, KOrganizer and some other
stuff) will all be rolled into kontact but still remain as
standalone applications. I would expect the kab lib won't
change much though. I'd also like to be able to script kontact
eventually (and a lot of it is plugin-based already).
