Installation Instructions
GooBook is only released as a source distribution.
It can be installed using easy_install or pip or manually with the source tarball.
easy_install or pip
This is the recommended way to install goobook. If installing this way you will not need to download the source manually.
Run easy_install or pip:
$ easy_install -U goobook $ pip install goobook
easy_install is part of setuptools which should come with most distributions.
Source installation
Download the source tarball, uncompress it, then run the install command:
$ tar -xzvf goobook-*.tar.gz $ cd goobook-* $ sudo python ./setup.py install
Upgrading
If you are upgrading from a pre 1.0 version you will have to remove the old cachefile and create a new configuration.
Configure
For most users it will be enough to add an entry to your ~/.netrc:
machine google.com login your@google.email password secret
To get access too more settings you can create ~/.goobookrc:
[DEFAULT] # If not given here, email and password is taken from .netrc using # machine google.com email: user@gmail.com password: top secret # The following are optional, defaults are shown max_results: 9999 cache_filename: ~/.goobook_cache cache_expiry_hours: 24
Proxy settings
If you use a proxy you need to set the https_proxy environment variable.
Usage
To query your contacts:
$ goobook query QUERY
The add command reads a email from STDIN and adds the From address to your Google contacts:
$ goobook add
The cache is updated automatically according to the configuration but you can also force an update:
$ goobook reload
Mutt Setup
Set in your .muttrc file:
set query_command="goobook query '%s'
to query address book. (Normally bound to “Q” key.)
If you want to be able to use <tab> to complete email addresses instead of Ctrl-t add this:
bind editor <Tab> complete-query
To add email addresses (with “a” key normally bound to create-alias command):
macro index,pager a "<pipe-message>goobook add<return>" "add the sender address to Google contacts"
If you want to add an email’s sender to Contacts, press a while it’s selected in the index or pager.
