gData+Python Calendar API - Doesn't update?

Question

I'm trying to write a python script that I can crontab to pull about a week's worth of google calendar appointments, and take any with a Hangout attached and add the link into some visible area where OSX iCal can pick it up.

My project is on github at https://github.com/Yeraze/CalendarHangout

Right now it appears to work. It finds about 20 entries on my calendar, properly pulls the link and updates them, and then submits a batch update of 20 items back to google. However, I'm seeing some weirdness that I can't debug:

1) Several of the events have disappeared from the GCal website. They still show on all my i-devices and OSX Calendar (even after multiple forced refreshes), but they've disappeared from the website.

2) Every time I run the script, it still says these items need to be updated, like nothing's actually updating.

Can someone with some more experience on this help? What am I missing?

Update Seems they've been converted into something like the Weather icons.. I see them as little boxes at the top, right under all-day events.

Answer 1

I'm closing this... Seems this isn't really supported in V2 of the API. I've upgraded to V3, found similar glitches, and opened a new question .
