gdata.docs.client.DocsClient

Question

I have the following code, reads oauth2 token form file, then try's to perform a doc's list query to find a specific spreadsheet that I want to copy, however no matter what I try the code either errors out or returns with an object containing no document data.

I am using gdata.docs.client.DocsClient which as far as I can tell is version 3 of the API

def CreateClient():
"""Create a Documents List Client."""
client = gdata.docs.client.DocsClient(source=config.APP_NAME)
client.http_client.debug = config.DEBUG
# Authenticate the user with CLientLogin, OAuth, or AuthSub.

if os.path.exists(config.CONFIG_FILE):
    f = open(config.CONFIG_FILE)
    tok = pickle.load(f)
    f.close()
    client.auth_token = tok.auth_token

return client

1st query attempt

def get_doc():


new_api_query = gdata.docs.client.DocsQuery(title='RichSheet', title_exact=True, show_collections=True)

d = client.GetResources(q = new_api_query)

this fails with the following stack trace

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    if not s.rstrip(safe):
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'rstrip'

Process finished with exit code 1

then my second attempt

def get_doc():

    other = gdata.docs.service.DocumentQuery(text_query='RichSheet')

    d = client.GetResources(q = other)

this returns an ResourceFeed object, but has no content. I have been through the source code for these function but thing are not any obvious.

Have i missed something ? or should i go back to version 2 of the api ?
