"gam print groups settings" just broke

[McNeight]

To grab information on settings in the groups I have, I've been running:

..\gam print groups description permission settings > groups.csv

This gives me a long list of settings that I can bulk modify and then feed back into a PowerShell script that uses gam to write the settings back. Really nice for making settings consistent.

Today, I ran the command and got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "gam.py", line 6430, in <module>

  File "gam.py", line 5248, in doPrintGroups

  File "csv.pyo", line 153, in writerows

  File "csv.pyo", line 144, in _dict_to_list

ValueError: dict contains fields not in fieldnames: include_In_Global_Address_List, spam_Moderation_Level

At this point, gam exits and does not write the contents out to the groups.csv file. I know that the last time the command worked was on September 1st, but I don't know at what point after that things might have changed. The output of gam without any options is:

Google Apps Manager 2.51

Python 2.7.3 final

Windows-2008ServerR2-6.1.7601-SP1 AMD64

No huge hurry, but any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Very interesting. It looks like Google updated the Group Settings API with the ability to set the spam moderation level and whether or not the group is included in the GAL.

I'll try to get a new version of GAM out soon that can take advantage of these new settings (and fix the error on print groups).

Hello,

While using gam print groups setting > groupssettingsexport.csv
I am facing this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "gam.py", line 6592, in <module>

  File "gam.py", line 5410, in doPrintGroups

  File "csv.pyo", line 154, in writerows

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 30: ordinal not in range(128)

The .csv is not fully completed only 600/1000 groups are display. I though is was an problem of encoding of one of the groups IDs but could not find any strangely formated.

But when I am using "gam print groups > doc.csv, the script runs correctly and the csv is clean and correct.

Does anyone has a clue on what it could be ?

Are you using gam on Windows ? 

I have had many problems with that in relation with Unicode. I ended up installing a virtual Linux on my windows box and is running it from there...
