Problems adding a new contact with Python

[Greg Broiles]

Here's some example code:

import atom

import gdata.contacts

import gdata.contacts.service

import gdata.contacts.data

import gdata.data

gd_client = gdata.contacts.service.ContactsService()

gd_client.email = 'MYEMAIL'

gd_client.password = 'MYPASSWORD'

gd_client.source = 'test'

gd_client.ProgrammaticLogin()

name="Test Person"

primary_email="teste...@example.com"

new_contact = gdata.contacts.ContactEntry(title=atom.Title(text=name))

new_contact.email.append(gdata.contacts.Email(address=primary_email, primary='true', rel=gdata.contacts.REL_WORK))

new_contact.phone_number.append(gdata.contacts.PhoneNumber("650-555-5555", primary='true'))

new_contact.structured_postal_address.append(gdata.data.StructuredPostalAddress(rel=gdata.data.WORK_REL, primary='true',

    street=gdata.data.Street(text='1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy'),

    city=gdata.data.City(text='Mountain View'),

    region=gdata.data.Region(text='CA'),

    postcode=gdata.data.Postcode(text='94043'),

    country=gdata.data.Country(text='United States')))

contact_entry = gd_client.CreateContact(new_contact)

and this is the error it gives me:

C:\Python27\python.exe C:/Users/gbroiles/Projects/google-contacts/c4.py

the problem seems to be in the StructuredPostalAddress part, but I can't seem to figure out what it doesn't like. The example runs fine if I comment out the address lines - but I would like to store addresses for my contacts, surprisingly enough. 

Any ideas?

[Greg Broiles]

the phone number line should be

new_contact.phone_number.append(gdata.contacts.PhoneNumber(text="650-555-5555", primary='true', rel=gdata.contacts.REL_WORK))

Hello,

Creating contacts with the Python client library is documented here:

Best,
