# pycocuma(1)

Pythonic Contact and Customer Management

## NAME

pycocuma - Pythonic Contact and Customer Management

## SYNTAX

pycocuma \[*options*\] \[*connection-string*\]

## DESCRIPTION

PyCoCuMa (Pythonic Contact and Customer Management) provides a personal information system for addresses, telephone numbers and other data associated with personal contacts (also supports photographic pictures).

PyCoCuMa is purely written in Python with a Tk graphical interface. PyCoCuMa is based on an XML-RPC client-server architecture. The server stores its data in compatible vCard (ver. 3.0) files (\*.vcf) which can be read by all modern address programs (Evolution, KAddressbook, Outlook, GnomeCard, etc).

This manpage documents the PyCoCuMa client (which can also run standalone).

## OPTIONS

- *connection-string*

  addressbook filename / server url

- **-h** **--help**

- **-c** **--config**

- **--noconf**

- **-t** **--type**

- **--finder**

  open QuickFinder

- **--import**

  import from file/stdin (-) (e.g. vcard:/tmp/John.vcf)

- **--export**
