It looks like the code uses syntax for python >= 2.5 and your python version is 
2.4.

Had this problem also: python version at work is 2.4.4, which according to 
INSTALL.txt should work, but doesn't.

As far as I can see in the latest INSTALL.txt GoogleCL requires Python 2.5 or 
2.6.
You can find latest INSTALL.txt here: 
http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/source/browse/trunk/INSTALL.txt

However, it shouldn't be too hard to make it working with 2.4. Gdata library 
works with python <= 2.2, so I don't see much reason to make googleCL so strict 
about python version.

Attached please find a patch for this particular issue for the trunk sources. 
If you find more - post it here and I'll try to fix them.

While it should be possible to make GoogleCL compatible with python 2.4, it 
isn't something terribly important. I'm going to mark this WontFix.

Bartosh, if you'd like, you can make a new issue for Python2.4 support so that 
it gets a proper issue.

• Changed state: WontFix

Well, nobody seems to be interested. So, I'd rather do something more useful :)
