Can't upload files of any type via the docs client, even though it's now possible to do so

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the samples/docs/resumable_upload_sample.py with --convert=false
2. Upload a python script and choose any auth method

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Some variation of this is expected:
Uploading FILE ( MIMETYPE ) @ BYTECOUNT...
Uploading bytes: CHUNK/BYTECOUNT
Done: True
Document uploaded: FILE_TITLE
Quota used: 0
file closed: False

but I'm greeted with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "resumable_upload_sample.py", line 221, in <module>
    main()
  File "resumable_upload_sample.py", line 213, in main

What version of the product are you using?
2.0.14

Please provide any additional information below.

The doc list API is supposed to handle files of any type now (as stated here: 
http://googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2011/05/upload-all-file-types-to-any-goo
gle.html ) It is a rather new change, so I don't actually expect this to work, 
instead, I'd like to know why this doesn't work and what changes could be made 
to the library or the script in order to upload files of any type, so I can 
make them :)

Attached is a more verbose output from running the script with the --debug 
option.

I am in need of this also. I have tried the demo's tried manually with my own 
script, and the response I get is: 'Convert parameter not implemented yet'

Hi,

Running resumableuploadsample with version 2.0.15 installed results in: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./resumable_upload_sample.py", line 221, in <module>
    main()
  File "./resumable_upload_sample.py", line 204, in main
    convert=convert, ssl=ssl, debug=debug)
  File "./resumable_upload_sample.py", line 84, in __init__
    chunk_size=self.chunk_size, desired_class=gdata.docs.data.DocsEntry)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'DocsEntry'

Not surprising really since the demo itself is missing from the 2.0.15 
version...

It would be nice to know when resumable uploads of any file type would be 
available through the python client though. Thanks.

I was getting the same error as juha.ker... 

Basically, we replaced the string "gdata.docs.data.DocsEntry" with 
"gdata.data.GDEntry" throughout the program that called "DocsEntry" and that 
fixed the problem.

I blogged about it here:

Hi, it is currently possible, but transparently done by the Update or Insert 
methods if you provide the media attribute.

Check this:
