Quick Android SMS backup script in python

If you are a person like me who likes to keep a record of his/her conversations then you should find it useful.
On my previous Nokia Symbian phone I had a SIS file to backup my smses before deleting them from the phone memory. So I got an android phone a month back and the smses started piling up. With the new threaded view the sms interface performance becomes quite sluggish when you reach around 2000 smses.

Since I was already exploring SL4A, I quickly wrote a small script to save sent and received messages to memory card. Visit http://www.compulife.com.pk/oss/android_sms_exporter to get the script.
