Hello,

first of all, I wish all of you a Happy New Year. I hope you all had a good
time over Christmas and New Year's.
Don't know about you, but in my family Christmas time is always very busy.
But anyway, after finishing a book I had to read for English class "The
White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga (a story about an Indian entrepreneur - very
interesting!) earlier today, I wanted to try accessing libfolks from python.

Unfortunately, Frederik, your ppa didn't work for me because I'm using
ubuntu precise. So I while I was compiling folks-0.6.6 by myself, I
realized that I already have version 0.6.6 installed. This is what is
currently installed on my system:

folks-common             0.6.6-1      library to aggregates people into
metacontacts (common files)
gir1.2-folks-0.6            0.6.6-1      library to aggregates people into
metacontacts - GObject-Introspection
libfolks-dev                 0.6.6-1      library to aggregates people into
metacontact - development files
libfolks-eds25             0.6.6-1      Evolution-data-server backend for
libfolks
libfolks-telepathy25     0.6.6-1       elepathy backend for libfolks
libfolks25                  0.6.6-1        library to aggregates people
into metacontacts

I'm now running into the same problem as Frederik was before. I can import
Folks from gi.repository but when I do:

agg= Folks.IndividualAggregator()
agg.prepare()

I get the same error:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/types.py", line 43, in function
    return info.invoke(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: prepare() takes exactly 3 arguments (1 given)

Any Ideas?

Regards,
Patrick
