For reasons unkown to me, whoever maintains this module has clearly stated on the libgmail site that the official releases no longer work. Only the cvs versions work now. So libgmail-0.0.8 is pretty much useless in portage. I verified this by emerge'ing libgmail-0.0.8. It simply doesn't work. It breaks on multiple levels. I then un'emerged libgmail and installed the cvs version. Works like a charm. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.echo 'net-libs/libgmail ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords 2.emerge libgmail 3.Run the following python code: #!/usr/bin/env python import libgmail ga = libgmail.GmailAccount('myname@gmail.com', 'mypassword') ga.login() folder = ga.getMessagesByFolder('inbox') Actual Results: the last line returns multiple errors. Expected Results: Work. I'm using python-2.3.5. I'm not sure how this could possible be resolved since only the cvs versions work and no official release is made.
A bzip2'ed diff from 0.0.8 to cvs is only 11Kb. I say we put this diff in the mirrors and release a 0.0.8-r1 version to patch it up. If 0.0.8 isn't working at all anymore, I don't see much harm in using cvs code. Jon, if you want me to do this, just drop a line. Cheers
Ok, I added patches from cvs to 0.0.8-r1. It seemed to work when I posted the last comment, but I don't know if it is working anymore. Vincent, can you test if 0.0.8-r1 works?
Please reopen this bug if problem still occur.
