Python gdata-2.0.4 - Entry object "has no email attribute", even when it does.

[John]

I am fetching an Entry from Shared Contacts on a domain, and when I
try to access the email, I get " 'Entry' object has no attribute
'email' ".

Fetching via client.GetEntry( url ) I can access the name, contents,
etc. just not the email.

When I call Entry.ToString() I can see the email in there.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<ns0:entry xmlns:ns0="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<ns0:content type="text">Notes here.</ns0:content>
<ns0:category scheme="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind"

</ns0:entry>

If I get the Entry from client.GetContactsFeed( url ) I _can_ access
the email.

All of this is using the Python gdata-2.0.4 release.

Any hints would be appreciated, I'm new to Python and new to the API.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

You should use client.GetContact( url ) instead, the GetEntry method
returns a more generic entry that does not have the contact details.

Cheers,
Julian
