Hey Bob, So yes the version numbering in GData APIs is a little confusing.
The "version 2" number that is listed on the Python GData Client library download page <http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/downloads/list> refers to GData 2 vs GData 1 (there are only 2 versions of GData). You can see the difference between the 2 versions on the GData documentation page<http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/docs/developers-guide.html> . Then there are specific APIs versions. The Python GData Client library v2<http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/downloads/list> does supports the Contacts API v3 (which is built on top of GData v2). Simply download the latest Python GDta client and start using it as described in the Contacts APi Developer's guide v3<http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/docs/3.0/developers_guide_python.html> Cheers! * Nicolas Garnier* Developer Programs Engineer Google Developer Relations* Google Switzerland GmbH.
