Answer 1

you can maybe ask to export the contacts into cvs file (usually possible), upload the file to your site and then you can inspect the file

or you can have a look here for a php version

Answer 2

You might want to look into pinax an open source pluggable django app collection which also has support for yahoo, google and hcard contact import.

Answer 3

others are in django-friends app (pinax app), importer source here : http://github.com/jtauber/django-friends/blob/master/friends/importer.py
