A very easy way to get to the address book (and anything that supports Applescript/Apple events) from a higher level language is via http://appscript.sourceforge.net/

I previously wrote something in Python to sync between LDAP and the OS X address book using appscript. It was fairly straightforward. Edited to add: https://github.com/jaysoffian/absync/blob/master/absync

Appscript is pretty cool! Is there anyway to produce a bundle and distribute to other machines without Appscript installed?
