Programmatically select contacts from Yahoo! The address book

Question

Is there a way to programmatically log in to Yahoo !, specifying the email id and password as input and getting the user's contacts?

I got the same with Gmail thanks to the ClientLogin interface.

Yahoo's address book API provides BBAuth, which requires the user to be redirected to the Yahoo login page. But I'm looking for a way to authenticate a user with Yahoo without redirecting. Ning.com mode handles it.

Python code examples will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
