Documentation about ClientLogin deprecation and resulting errors #24

Open jantman opened 9 years ago

Most of the samples - definitely the Spreadsheets one - use ClientLogin which is now deprecated. This is certainly causing confusion among people who don't closely follow the API status (i.e. see ?place=topic%2Fgoogle-spreadsheets-api%2FgmZHNh5cR80%2Fdiscussion and https://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/issues/detail?id=719&sort=-opened&colspec=Opened%20Stars%20ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Component%20Summary )

It would be very helpful if the samples were updated, or the ClientLogin methods were changed to throw a deprecation error, or at least there was a clear comment in the documentation.

+1 The primary GContacts client code is outdated given OAuth2 requirements. This needs to be brought up to date.
