      Thank you folks.
      I'm just a Python beginner and I had no place to begin w/ Objective C stuff. Now I think I can begin to try.

        Now I’m trying to modify and save ‘dates’ field of an existing contact. Though the following script doesn’t spit errors but nothing happens to the contact. Could anybody help?

        from objc_util import *
        
        # ObjectiveC contacts
        CNContactStore = ObjCClass('CNContactStore').alloc().init()
        CNContact = ObjCClass('CNContact')
        Containers = CNContactStore.containersMatchingPredicate_error_(None,None)
        for Container in Containers:
        	id = Container.identifier()
        	predicate = CNContact.predicateForContactsInContainerWithIdentifier_(id)
        	# keys not exactly like in Apple doc
        	predicate_contacts = CNContactStore.unifiedContactsMatchingPredicate_keysToFetch_error_(predicate, ['familyName', 'givenName', 'middleName', 'dates'], None)
        	'''
        	print('First name: ', end='')
        	first_name = input()
        	print('Last name: ', end='')
        	last_name = input()
        	'''
        	first_name = 'Ludwig'
        	last_name = 'Beethoven'
        	for contact in predicate_contacts:
        		if first_name == str(contact.givenName()) and last_name == str(contact.familyName()):
        			break
        	CNMutableContact = contact.mutableCopy()
        	dateComponents = ObjCClass('NSDateComponents').alloc().init()
        	label = 'passing'
        	dateComponents.day = 26
        	dateComponents.month = 3
        	dateComponents.year = 1827
        	'''
        	print('Label: ', end='')
        	label = input()
        	print(label.capitalize()+' year: ', end='')
        	dateComponents.year = int(input())
        	print(label.capitalize()+' month: ', end='')
        	dateComponents.month = int(input())
        	print(label.capitalize()+' day: ', end='')
        	dateComponents.day = int(input())
        	'''
        	CNLabeledValue=ObjCClass('CNLabeledValue')
        	value=CNLabeledValue.alloc()
        	value.initWithLabel_value_(label, dateComponents)
        	CNMutableContact.dates=[value]
        
        	CNSaveRequest = ObjCClass('CNSaveRequest').new().autorelease()
        	CNSaveRequest.updateContainer_(CNMutableContact)
        	CNContactStore.executeSaveRequest_error_(CNSaveRequest, None) ```

          @osamu this works

            Wrong: CNSaveRequest.updateContainer_(CNMutableContact)
            Correct: CNSaveRequest.updateContact(CNMutableContact)

            Console:
            First name: Ludwig
            Last name: Beethoven
            Label: passing
            Passing year: 1827
            Passing month: 3
            Passing day: 26

            Final code:

            from objc_util import *
            
            # ObjectiveC contacts
            CNContactStore = ObjCClass('CNContactStore').alloc().init()
            CNContact = ObjCClass('CNContact')
            Containers = CNContactStore.containersMatchingPredicate_error_(None,None)
            for Container in Containers:
            	id = Container.identifier()
            	predicate = CNContact.predicateForContactsInContainerWithIdentifier_(id)
            	# keys not exactly like in Apple doc
            	predicate_contacts = CNContactStore.unifiedContactsMatchingPredicate_keysToFetch_error_(predicate, ['familyName', 'givenName', 'middleName', 'dates'], None)
            	print('First name: ', end='')
            	first_name = input()
            	print('Last name: ', end='')
            	last_name = input()
            	for contact in predicate_contacts:
            		if first_name == str(contact.givenName()) and last_name == str(contact.familyName()):
            			break
            
            CNMutableContact = contact.mutableCopy()
            dateComponents = ObjCClass('NSDateComponents').alloc().init()
            print('Label: ', end='')
            label = input()
            print(label.capitalize()+' year: ', end='')
            dateComponents.year = int(input())
            print(label.capitalize()+' month: ', end='')
            dateComponents.month = int(input())
            print(label.capitalize()+' day: ', end='')
            dateComponents.day = int(input())
            CNLabeledValue=ObjCClass('CNLabeledValue')
            value=CNLabeledValue.alloc()
            value.initWithLabel_value_(label, dateComponents)
            CNMutableContact.dates=[value]
            CNSaveRequest = ObjCClass('CNSaveRequest').new().autorelease()
            CNSaveRequest.updateContact(CNMutableContact)
            CNContactStore.executeSaveRequest_error_(CNSaveRequest, None)
            

            I couldn’t attach the capture 😣

                Got it. For loop was no use.
