Re: post blog using python API

Tom,

if the github didn't bring in the latest version, the only thing I can
suggest is

sudo pip install --upgrade gdata

That definitely brought in a new version for me.

I'm the same, just using blogger for my own stuff, so the oauth seems far
too complicated for what I'm doing.

my own login sequence is slightly different to yours

import gdata.blogger.service

 def _login (self) :
        ''' login to Blogger '''

        self._gdclient = gdata.blogger.service.BloggerService
(source=self._source)
        try :
            self._gdclient.ClientLogin (self._user, self._password,
source=self._gdclient.source)
            self._debug ("logged in to Blogger")
            self._loggedin = True
        except etc.

They're deprecating ClientLogin, but it still seems to work just now. May
be worth trying that rather than ProgrammaticLogin
