DougC, I agree with the lack of proper class/method documentation for Google API in Python - there certainly needs to be something akin to pod in CPAN. I would be glad to write this stuff if I had someone to give me access to the internals. Google does have some documentation, but it isn't to the point: see the OAuth pages, and the Perl code example showing how to get an authentication key. The examples do not show workable Python code that can be put into a .py file and run through the SDK app developer. All of the Provisioning APIs need to have snippets of workable code which explain in simple terms what the URL encoding objects are doing, what the defaults are, what the hash keys and values are, etc. None of this appears in the Google Provisioning API documentation.
I need a simple bit of code that creates a Gmail account using the Provisioning API under a Premiere Edition account. Anybody who can point me to a bit of code that shows clearly how to get the authentication key, do the https/URL encoding with the proper URL, I would really appreciate it.
