Seeking python example.

[codingJoe]

All,

If I create a folder, how can I save a reference to that folder and
then later recreate the folder object to do things like MoveIntoFolder
(...)

I'm doing this on GAE using the db.Model. I am able to stuff the
folderID into a string, but I have no idea how to turn that string
back into a folder reference.

Any code snippets are greately appreciated!!

Using the new v3.0 classes:

saved_resource_id = 'folder%3A0B9kVjMzJkNjYz'

folder_entry = client.GetDoc(saved_resource_id)

In the old classes, try my response here:

Thanks for the snippet, it was a good start point. I'm having a few
issues grabbing that folder object. Am I doing this correctly?
Advice?

#The folder I want to get
logging.debug("want to grab folder: " + root_folder)
# prints: want to grab folder: folder:
0BxnrF1v7z5alNmI5OTJhMzItYTA1YS00MDZjLWFiNjEtNmExMjFiMTAxMTRl

# TRY 1
folder_entry = docClient.GetDoc(root_folder)
# Fails: folder_entry = docClient.GetDoc(root_folder)
# AttributeError: 'DocsService' object has no attribute
'GetDoc'

# TRY 2: I must have the old classes
uri = 'http://docs.google.com/feeds/documents/private/full/' +
root_folder
folder_entry = docClient.Query(uri,
converter=gdata.docs.DocumentListEntryFromString)
root_entry = docClient.Query(folderURI,
converter=gdata.docs.DocumentListEntryFromString)

This needs to be a resource id (that includes the type), so:

folder%3A0BxnrF1v7z5alNm...

'GetDoc'

Looks like you haven't updated to the latest version of the source.

Check it out from SVN.  Here is the check-in:

http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/source/detail?r=881

Not sure on this one.  Try adding a print statement in 128 of atom/__init__.py

to see what XML you're getting at line 154, col 60.

Thanks for the pointer! I was able to get the latest svn python-
client.

Now trying to overcome some subtle differences like: SetAuthSubToken
is not defined. (See below for how I currently authenticate) How do
you authenticate with the new DocsClient?

The only example documentation I am aware is for the older
DocsService. http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/1.0/developers_guide_python.html

Is there a newer developers guide for python that I should be
referencing?

Thanks!

The docs need updating.  I'm actually working on that as we speak :)

If you already have a session token, you can use:

self.client.auth_token = gdata.gauth.AuthSubToken("TOKEN_VALUE")

The upgrade process is something like this (90% sure this is right):

# Fetch a new token for a Google Account

authsub_request_url = gdata.gauth.generate_auth_sub_url(

        next_url, ['http://docs.google.com/feeds'], secure=False,

        session=True, domain='default')

# Upgrade the token in the URL

token = gdata.gauth.AuthSubToken.FromUrl(self.request.uri)

session_token = client.UpgradeToken(token)

Do a help(gdata.docs.client.DocsClient) to see the available methods.

Cheers,

Eric

Thanks!! I look forward to the release of the new documentation when
its finished.

I am enthusiastic about integrating google docs into my process. I
will support end-user testing and debugging however possible. :)
