This PySymbian script shows a contact list class for choosing phone number(s), like the native one when sending SMS.

continue

if ind == None:
continue
else:
ind = 0
multi_number.append(number_list[ind])

return multi_number

return None
# here is some test
test = ContactList(lambda x, y:cmp(y, x))
print test.select_single()
print test.select_multi()
Why for some contacts, the numbers are duplicated?

Hamishwillee - Check it for what?
Hi Pankaj
Please explain what it is you want? Note that this article is very old and the author is probably not monitoring it any more. You may have more luck posting in the python forum (Under the Symbian discussion board) and cross linking to this article.
