I don't know.

Something else matters though: the current code in gdocsbackend.py does not work against the latest version of gdata, the client library.

I sent an email to the author about it. He explained that it was coded against an earlier version of gdata (2.0.14), and that changes have been made since then which break the code.

He just created a new branch to start fixing it:

could you please test those changes and verify everything works?
when that's done the author should propose the branch for merging.
