Bug in documentation example for generate_authorization_url

[GoogleCodeExporter]

See the Python example here:
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/docs/auth/oauth.html#OAuthAuthorizeToken

This code from the example doesn't work:
domain = None  # If on a Google Apps domain, use your domain (e.g. 
'example.com').
self.redirect(request_token.generate_authorization_url(google_apps_domain=domain
))

But this does:

self.redirect(request_token.generate_authorization_url())

Looking at the code for generate_authorization_url(), the default argument to 
domain is the string 'default'. This is what you should use instead of None 
when you aren't using a Google Apps domain.

This is with version 2.0 of the API but I think it exists with 1.0 also.

Thanks.

Actually, to get the example to work, I had to use: 
self.redirect(str(request_token.generate_authorization_url()))

otherwise I got the following error:
