Cant use new line in googlecl command

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.google youtube post ~/videos/cat-falls-down-stairs.avi Comedy --tags 
"currency of the internet" --summary "Poor whiskers takes a tumble.\nShe's 
fine, though, don't worry.\nThat's all."
2.Please note the "\n" inside summary

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I want to get:
Poor whiskers takes a tumble.
She's fine, though, don't worry.
That's all.

But it displays on Youtube as:
Poor whiskers takes a tumble.\nShe's fine, though, don't worry.\nThat's all.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
version of gdata-python-client (aka python-gdata)?
The latest version of googlecl and gdata. OS is CentOS 5.5 with Python 2.5.5.

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem is with shell passing variables into the python script. I think 
this should work. Just make a special variable in the shell for storing end of 
line:

n=$'\n'

then you should provide the params as:

google youtube post ~/videos/cat-falls-down-stairs.avi Comedy \ 
 --tags "currency of the internet" \
 --summary "Poor whiskers takes a tumble.${n}She's fine, though, don't worry.${n}That's all."
