docs edit fails when saving plain-text document from Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

google docs edit --folder "scratch" --format "txt" --editor "notepad" --title 
"notes"

Where a plain-text document called "notes" exists in folder "scratch"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the command to complete without error. Instead I see this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "google", line 536, in <module>
  File "google", line 530, in main
  File "google", line 408, in run_once
  File "googlecl\docs\service.pyo", line 555, in _run_edit
  File "googlecl\docs\service.pyo", line 134, in edit_doc
  File "gdata\service.pyo", line 1394, in Put
  File "gdata\service.pyo", line 1357, in PostOrPut
gdata.service.RequestError: {'status': 400, 'body': 'Could not convert 
document.', 'reason': 'Bad Request'}

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
version of gdata-python-client (aka python-gdata)?

GoogleCL v0.9.8
gdata-2.0.10
Windows XP Professional SP3

Please provide any additional information below.

This was working in GoogleCL v0.9.7.

I'm suspecting that sometime after this worked for you in 0.9.7, you converted 
to using new-version docs. If the new version in the trunk does not work for 
you, please let me know and I'll un-merge this issue and take a look.

r342 isn't running for me. But r340 works.

Error with r342:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'uname'

I don't think this error is related to this issue at all. Let me know if you 
need me to open a new issue, but I'm guessing it was just something missing 
from the r342 commit.

Yup, I used os.uname which isn't supported on windows. r343 should be working 
for you.

Thanks for the quick response!
