Error storing auth token if ~/.local isn't there

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. rm -rf $HOME/.local
2. google docs list
3. auth a new user

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

It should work. Ie. in the case above, it should show the docs list.

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

googlecl_0.9.12-1_all.deb

Please provide any additional information below.

Yeah, I am hitting this on Ubuntu 10.10.

I had just installed googlecl 0.9.12-1 from the .deb for the first time, and I 
got this error when attempting to run my first command: "google list calendar"

Pretty confusing result. I wondered what  was doing wrong, and couldn't find 
any documentation about what to expect during the authentication. Was I 
supposed to copy the "oauth_token" and put it in the file it was complaining 
about? Apparently not... it's just a bug?

To workaround I ran this and then reauthenticated: mkdir -p 
~/.local/share/googlecl

This is a duplicate of Issue 352, which contains a patch to fix the problem.

Since this is the third or fourth time this issue has been mentioned, I'll 
leave this issue open until a new version is released. But to fix the problem, 
you can either create the ~/.local/share/googlecl directory, or apply the patch 
in Issue 352.

Having the same issue, even with the patch applied and creating the directory 
manually ...

Are you sure the patch has been applied correctly? You could also try checking 
out the repository and using the version there.

With 0.9.13 out, this problem should be fixed for good. If the problem still 
persists after upgrading (and being sure you've wiped out the previous 
version), don't hesitate to comment further on this issue.

I am having this issue and thought by upgrading to all the latest versions of 
Python, googlecl, java, etc. I would be able to reset the token.  I've attached 
a log I kept to show my dilema. Help!
