use the new --owner option to get the album:

google picasa get --owner 'my_friend' --title 'his_album' ./album

Let me know if it doesn't work! Thanks.

Hmm,

% google picasa get --owner 'my_friend' --title 'his_album' ./album
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise GooglePhotosException(e.args[0])
gdata.photos.service.GooglePhotosException: (400, 'Bad Request', '')

But it could be my install method? I did a 'sudo pip install 
http://googlecl.googlecode.com/svn/trunk'.

That's strange. I'm unfamiliar with pip, so I don't know what that install 
command will do. It may have overwritten the google script (allowing the 
--owner option) and not the googlecl library (causing the option to be ignored 
and resulting in a bad request). Try adding the --debug flag and post the 
results back here. Or download via svn and use

$ mkdir test_directory
$ python setup.py install --home test_directory --record files.txt
$ cd test_directory/lib/python
$ ../../bin/google <command>

Note: if you're getting some photos, --debug will spit back a lot of data. Just 
be wary.

Found it! It was a user / documentation error :)

I tried --owner 'my friend' since my friend's screen name has a space in it. 
Replacing the space by a dot or using his id makes it work!

Thanks for the quick fix!

Btw: you should really read up about pip, it's heralded by many in the Python 
community as the next-gen 'easy_install' (and it did my update splendidly after 
all :) ).
