The python description for ChangePhoto says:
*ChangePhoto*(self, media, contact_entry_or_url, content_type=None,
content_length=None)
Change the photo for the contact by uploading a new photo.
Performs a PUT against the photo edit URL to send the binary data for the
photo.
Args:
media: filename, file-like-object, or a gdata.MediaSource object to send.
Note that it says media argument can be file-like-object, so I tried passing
a file() and urllib2.urlopen(), but both fail with this error (I replaced
the base64 data with ...):
>>> gd_client.ChangePhoto(file('/tmp/t.jpg'), contact_entry,
content_type='image/jpeg')
ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input

The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (6, 0))

See how the it says "image/png" (that too twice), even though I am
specifying "image/jpeg" as the content type.
However, if I directly reference the filename, it works, like this:
>>> gd_client.ChangePhoto('/tmp/t.jpg', contact_entry,
content_type='image/jpeg')
I also tried creating MediaSource like this:
gdata.MediaSource(file_handle=file('/tmp/t.jpg'),
content_type='image/jpeg') and passing in as the first argument, but it too
got the same error. I need to set photo from a URL, so I guess the
workaround is to download it to a temp file and pass the filename, but per
the documentation it should have worked.
Walking through the MediaSource, the only difference I observed between
passing the filepath and a file-like object was the content-length, so I
tried setting it and it made all the difference.
>>> gd_client.ChangePhoto(file('/tmp/t.jpg'), contact_entry,
content_type='image/jpeg', content_length=13761)
The issue however is that I can't figure out the content-length from the
response, so I would have to read the entire content and pass it back as a
buffer along with the length. My guess is Post() has a bug that doesn't
handle the content properly unless the content-length is known in advance.
Can this be fixed easily?
