docs_examples.py does not work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

trying to play with python-gdata, I was experiencing problems uploading 
documents. I stopped looking at my own code and tried to start from scratch 
looking at the examples. But... docs_examples.py is raising exactly the same 
error as my code:

Document List Sample
1) List your documents.
2) Search your documents.
3) Upload a document.
4) Download a document.
5) List a document's permissions.
6) Add/change a document's permissions.
7) Exit.

Enter a category: all

    feed = self.gd_client.GetDocumentListFeed()

    return self.QueryDocumentListFeed(uri)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gdata/docs/service.py", line 231, in QueryDocumentListFeed
    return self.Get(uri, converter=gdata.docs.DocumentListFeedFromString)

    return converter(result_body)

    return atom.CreateClassFromXMLString(DocumentListFeed, xml_string)

    return f(*args, **kwargs)

    tree = ElementTree.fromstring(xml_string)
  File "<string>", line 85, in XML
SyntaxError: syntax error: line 1, column 54

3 conclusions so far:

    - nothing to do with my code
    - nothing to do with upload
    - reproducible with the last version installed from source and 
      2.0.8-1.1 packaged in Ubuntu 10.10

I googled a bit but did not find anything. Any clue?

Solved; due to a proxy issue even if environment variables were set. My code is 
now working as expected even if docs_examples.py is struggling with unicode 
chars
