Answer 1

You are using python3 but the module is for python2. It looks that way from the errors.

If you are talking about this http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/downloads/list

It is a module for a python2. There are a few changes b/w python2 and python3, the module is still not ported to python3 yet. So, use python2.
