You might be interested in my experiment with python+Akonadi:


#! /usr/bin/env python

import sys
from PyKDE4.kdecore import ki18n, KAboutData, KCmdLineArgs
from PyKDE4.kdeui import KApplication

from PyKDE4.akonadi import Akonadi

appName     = "PyAkonadi"
catalog     = ""
programName = ki18n ("PyAkonadi")
version     = "0.1"

aboutData   = KAboutData (appName, catalog, programName, version)
KCmdLineArgs.init (sys.argv, aboutData)
app = KApplication ()

Akonadi.Control.start()

view = Akonadi.EntityTreeView()
view.show()
monitor = Akonadi.ChangeRecorder()
model = Akonadi.EntityTreeModel(monitor)
view.setModel(model)

app.exec_()


It is a client, not a resource.

However, it is not useful.

As soon as you create a fetch job and try to get the item out of it, you might
find that it is not possible. 

You should try that next to ensure that you're not missing the hard part of
implementing a resource in python. The hard part is getting an email object out
of a Akonadi item using the kdepimlibs bindings.

If you're interested in python+akonadi you might be interested in my old posts
which showed an implementation of the Akonadi protocol in native python (that
is, not with bindings to the kdepimlibs library).
