yes, I think it would probably be pretty easy; evo exports its address
book to .vcf, which is a pretty straightforward text format, and I
think there are python modules to parse it.  Right now I'm giving bbdb
a try, though it seems perhaps a little heavyheanded for what I want.
But it integrates nicely with org-ode so I'm going to stick with it
for a while.

thanks for the help on this, eric.
