Sending SMS raises: ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running the "Send SMS Example"  
http://sphinxdoc.github.com/pygooglevoice/examples.html#send-sms-messages
2. Logged in
3. Sent a message to another gvoice number:

Number to send message to: 8472824467
Message text: test json message

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to get a success confirmation

Instead, I get: 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "send_smss.py", line 10, in <module>
    voice.send_sms(phoneNumber, text)

It appears to be a problem that comes form login issues...
See Issue 58 and 60

This solution from Issue 60 by misterich fixed my problem:
http://code.google.com/p/pygooglevoice/issues/detail?id=60#c10

For the lazy:
Edit the settings.py > LOGIN to point to a new URL 
[path-on-your-machine]/googlevoice/settings.py
Change the login as follows:
# (old) LOGIN = 
'https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginAuth?service=grandcentral'
LOGIN   = 
"https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=grandcentral&passive=1209600&c
ontinue=https://www.google.com/voice&followup=https://www.google.com/voice<mpl=o
pen"
