Adding Outlook Contacts From Python

Like the title says I want to add contacts to Outlook using Python. Currently I am using win32com and can get all current contacts and print them out like so:

import win32com.client
import pywintypes

o = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
ns = o.GetNamespace("MAPI")

contactsFolder = ns.GetDefaultFolder(10)
contacts = contactsFolder.Items

for c in contacts:
    print(c)

However, I am uncertain on how to add new contacts. Any ideas on how this can be achieved? Thanks.

EDIT: Final solution

ContactItem = contactsFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Contact")
ContactItem.FullName = "John Doe"
ContactItem.Email1Address = "[email protected]" 
ContactItem.Save()

Call contactFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Contact") - it will return an instance of the ContactItem object. Set its properties and call ContactItem.Save.
