Very nice library! Thank You

For international use:

change title.text
to title.text.encode("utf-8")

In the item types feed the item_type element is in the meta namespace, but
the parser looks in the base namespace.

Line 161 of calendarExample.py is incorrectly indented.  This report comes

The update and delete methods try to modify a feed without getting one. 
The list_feed is None when these methods are run. The list feed should be 
populated before making the calls.

The input validation in _SetOrderBy and _SetSortOrder use ors instead of
ands so no input is valid.

Each entry in the calendar meta feed has a a gCal:selected property indicating 
whether the calendar 
is selected in a user's list of calendars.  

This property needs added to the CalendarListEntry class, and a class called 
Selected needs to be 
created.

We can get the dates of this exception :
> exception.entry_link.entry.when[0].start_time
Ok, no problem.

Now, I want to create an exception:
> my_exception = gdata.calendar.RecurrenceException()

If I print the content of this exception:
> print my_exception

I get :
<ns0:recurrenceException specialized="True"
xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" />
(very small content ....)

I can't add a "when" attribute :
>
my_exception.entry_link.entry.when.append(gcalendar.When(start_time='20070523T12
0000',
end_time='20070523T180000'))

The error :
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'entry'

So, a "new" and "empty" exception does not contain entry_link and entry.

I don't found any documentation how to play with exceptions....
But I think there is a problem.

David.

Atom Entry should contain a control element, and the control element 
should contain a draft element.

Adding the support of the new Timezone query parameter.

See :
http://groups.google.com/group/google-calendar-help-dataapi/browse_thread/thread
/1ca5efd8712533fb/d6055f07d7ffe1c1#d6055f07d7ffe1c1

David.

In gdata.service.GDataService, the comments (docstring and just
before _SetAuthSubToken) refer to GDataClient. GDataClient is not
defined anywhere, and it appears this should be referring to itself,
i.e. change GDataClient references to GDataService.

What version of the product are you using?
1.0.4

Please provide any additional information below.
This is a documentation bug.

When query the feed with "composite" projection (to get recurrent exceptions) :

query =
gcalendar_service.CalendarEventQuery('i5cgt151oqsbdofnkfq8eeei1o%40group.calenda
r.google.com',
'private', 'composite')

It returns this error :

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gdata/gcalendar.py", line 398, in
_TakeChildFromElementTree
    self.entry_link = _EntryLinkFromElementTree(child)
NameError: global name '_EntryLinkFromElementTree' is not defined

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I fetch a feed with these parameters :
private/composite feed
start_max and updated_min query parameters

This problem is only for deleted occurrence returned in the feed.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If I print the feed, I see the OriginalEvent attribute :

When reading data from feeds which have non ascii characters, the
conversion from xml to objects fails. Try the following on a spreadsheet
with non ascii characters in the first row:

feed = client.GetListFeed(sid)

I had originally decided to put some Google data classes into calendar's 
module instead of the Google data core module because they are only used 
in calendar (oops :). Technically they do belong in the core module so we 
need to move those classes. Specific classes include events with kinds.

The license link is described in
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-snell-atompub-feed-license-11.txt

A GetLicenseLink method should be added to LinkFinder. Also LinkFinder
should move into the atom module to allow it's Get methods to be used on
Atom Entries and Feeds.

I'm using CVS revision 167.
I play with the query parameters :

cal_client = gdata.calendar.service.CalendarService()
cal_client.email = "[email protected]"
cal_client.password = "password"
cal_client.source = 'Google-Calendar_Python_Sample-1.0'
cal_client.ProgrammaticLogin()

query = gdata.calendar.service.CalendarEventQuery(
    bt0jm0vhomggrjnqkn4c1c3420%40group.calendar.google.com',
    'private','composite',None,{"ctz":"utc"})
feed = cal_client.CalendarQuery(query)
feed = cal_client.CalendarQuery(query)

Note the two queries....
The first query works fine.
But the second query fails :
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test2.py", line 46, in <module>
    feed = cal_client.CalendarQuery(query)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gdata/calendar/service.py", line
106, in CalendarQuery
    result = self.Query(query.ToUri())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gdata/calendar/service.py", line

    result = self.Get(uri)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gdata/service.py", line 525, in Get
    'reason': server_response.reason, 'body': result_body}
gdata.service.RequestError: {'status': 400, 'body': 'Too many instances of
ctz', 'reason': 'Bad Request'}

In spreadsheetExample.py, the checks should be changed to see if the entry
is an instance of gdata.spreadsheet.SpreadsheetsList, not cell.

The relevant functions:

def _ListInsertAction(self, row_data):
   entry = self.gd_client.InsertRow(self._StringToDictionary(row_data),
       self.curr_key, self.curr_wksht_id)
   if isinstance(entry, gdata.spreadsheet.SpreadsheetsCell):
     print 'Inserted!'

 def _ListUpdateAction(self, index, row_data):
   self.list_feed = self.gd_client.GetListFeed(self.curr_key,
self.curr_wksht_id)
   entry = self.gd_client.UpdateRow(
       self.list_feed.entry[string.atoi(index)],
       self._StringToDictionary(row_data))
   if isinstance(entry, gdata.spreadsheet.SpreadsheetsCell):
     print 'Updated!'

This should also be reflected in the documentation, as it uses code copied
from this py file.

When translating from a Who instance to an XML string, the conversion will
fail if the Who instance does not have a name defined (name is None).
Instead the Who class should only attempt to convert the name if it exists.

Some of the data model classes in gcalendar.py are calling
gdata.GDataEntry._TakeChildFromElementTree instead of their appropriate
parent classes.  This causes an exception.

Need to fix all data model classes to call their appropriate parents.

Python can set the encoding on strings by executing .encoding('UTF-8').

If the column name contains non-ascii characters, the print statement in
the dump command will fail with an encoding error.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running the setup.py file from the command line in Windows XP
2. Opening the program in IDLE and running it from there.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I don't know what the output should be exactly, but I assume it would show
what files are copied and where. Instead, I get the following traceback:

Auth sub is present in gdata_service but secure mode is not. Add secure
AuthSub mode using signed requests as described here:
http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/AuthForWebApps.html#specialtopics

Current connection are all direct. Add ability to specify a proxy for all
connections. This proxy could be set in a service instance.

Use setup tools to package the distribution.

ElementTree has no space.

Also, httplib and urllib are incorrectly named as they are spelled with
caps and a space.

I suspect the spelling issues were done for wiki issues to prevent them
turning into links, but it wouldn't hurt to use the correct names for
people who know the modules already.

The custom elements in a spreadsheet list entry is implemented as a list,
but it could be implemented as a dict because all column headers are
unique. See discussion thread
http://groups.google.com/group/gdata-python-client-library-contributors/browse_t

Create a new directory for tests and move all testing modules into it.

As of Python 2.5 ElementTree is included with Python as
xml.etree.ElementTree.  Changing the various imports that use ElementTree to::

 try:
   from xml.etree.ElementTree import ElementTree
 except ImportError:
   from elementTree import ElementTree

will allow supporting Python 2.5 usage of ElementTree as well as older
version of Python where people have installed ElementTree manually.

Occurs on Windows, not Linux.

The problem seems to be in the MediaSource class where the file handle is
opened. The flags passed in are 'r' when 'rb' is required (since the file
needs to be read as a binary one on Windows).

the item type is misspelled

The service can do basic auth and other schemes by adding HTTP headers 
using 

client.additional_headers['Authorization'] = <your auth header here>

but Basic Auth is widely used and should be supported.

Support for the following query parameters should be added to the calendar
query class:
futureevents
orderby
recurrence-expansion-start
recurrence-expansion-end
singleevents
sortorder

In the interest of promoting use of tests to ensure that changes have not 
broken functionality, create one script which will run all tests.

The conversion from python objects to XML is done in such a way that the
namespace for each element is explicitly stated even when it is the same
namespace of its parent. This could be avoided if the appending of new
child nodes using element tree was done in this order:

create new element
append new element to parent
transfer object data to new element

If a GDataService object is making a request and it is given a redirect,
not all of the parameters are copied to the second request.

For example, a redirect on a Get will lose the encoding and converter
arguments.
