Subject: [9fans] Google command line client
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:36:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAL4LZyh6dYo6MaJUHssZbddQd1Sp6=HNQ0vcTgEXga5jHckCYA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Turns out Google command line client
(http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/) works on Plan 9 just fine. All
you need is python (from fgb's contrib, or if you want to risk
potentially out-of-date code I've got a tarball at
http://jfloren.net/contrib/packages/lang/python/root.tgz, just untar
it and copy the files under root/ to the appropriate places)

First, download the gdata client library version 2.0.14
(http://gdata-python-client.googlecode.com/files/gdata-2.0.14.tar.gz).
This is an older version, but it's needed for compatibility reasons.
Untar it, then run "python setup.py install".

Next, download the actual command line client
(http://googlecl.googlecode.com/files/googlecl-0.9.13.tar.gz as of
today), untar it, and once again run "python setup.py install".

You can then run /sys/lib/python/bin/google, which will give you a
prompt. For kicks, you can enter something like 'docs edit --title
"testing" --editor sam' to make and edit a quick text document. The
first time, it will prompt you for an account name and then give you a
link to authorize the client. I couldn't get the authorization link to
work in abaco, I had to enter it in Firefox, but there may be a way to
get abaco to work.

You can also do something like '/sys/lib/python/bin/google calendar
list' from an rc prompt, so whipping up a guide file for Acme will be
very easy.
