Convert email addresses to VCF format

[jehoshua]

It was easier to look at doing this with the LDIF format. Here is the code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from ldif3 import LDIFParser
from pprint import pprint

parser = LDIFParser(open("claws_export.ldif", "rb"))

for dn, record in parser.parse():
    
    name = ""
    if 'cn' in record:
        name = record['cn'][0]
    
    surname = ""
    if 'sn' in record:
        surname = record['sn'][0]
    
    given_name = ""
    if 'givenName' in record:
        given_name = record['givenName'][0]
    
    display_name = ""
    if 'displayName' in record:
        display_name = record['displayName'][0]
    
    email = ""
    if 'mail' in record:
        email = record['mail'][0]

    print ('BEGIN:VCARD')
    print ('VERSION:2.1')
    print ("N:" + surname + ";" + given_name + ";;;")
    print ("FN:" + name)
    print ("EMAIL;HOME:" + email)
    print ("END:VCARD")

The o/p data looks like it is nearly matching what is required for import into the Galaxy contacts. If I did a

print(record)

this was the output

OrderedDict([('objectClass', ['inetOrgPerson']), ('cn', ['Forrest Gump']), ('sn', ['Gump']), ('displayName', ['Forrest Gump']), ('mail', ['[email protected]'])])

Can any improvements be done to the code ? For example, it seems a waste having to do all those "if" statements; possibly python has some sort of lookup function, to lookup within the class ?
