google.py not easily called inside Python scripts #355

What service (Calendar, Docs, Picasa) should be enhanced?
Docs

What is the enhancement?
I would like to be able to pass arguments to the editor declared by --editor in 
addition to the temporary file googlecl downloads

I believe this is possible in 0.9.12 if you enclose the argument to --editor in 
single quotes.  The same should hold true for saving an editor file the 
configuration file, though I don't think the quotes are necessary for the file.

Can you try the above? It should look like the following

$ google docs edit --editor 'EDITOR -a -b'

You're right, it does. I'm calling "google docs edit -n Foo --format=csv 
--editor='myscript.py --arg'" from within python and it is not working. 
(commandargs in docs/base.py turns into ['myscript.py --arg', 
u'/tmp/tmpfoobar/Foo.csv']) 

... But if I type the command directly into the shell, commandargs expands into 
['myscript.py', '--arg', u'/tmp/tmpfoobar/Foo.csv'] and everything works fine. 
So it looks like something on my end. Thanks!

Ah, so you're calling google.py from within another python script? The 
execution path will change depending on how you're doing that, so you may want 
to take a look at the source. I think this line in particular: 
http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/source/browse/trunk/src/google.py#821

I'm marking this WontFix, since I don't plan on making the main function's 
behavior more script-friendly in the way you were expecting. But if you have 
any suggestions or think this is a bad call, let me know.
