From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:36:38 -0700 Message-ID: From: John Floren To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@9fans.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Subject: [9fans] Google command line client Topicbox-Message-UUID: 70815dee-ead7-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 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 All you need is python (from fgb's contrib, or if you want to risk potentially out-of-date code I've got a tarball at http://jfloren.net/contrib/packages/lang/python/root.tgz, just untar it and copy the files under root/ to the appropriate places)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. John
