Devs and AWN-Extras managers:
This applet meets the Applet Development Guidelines.
Please add this to AWN-Extras (unless there are a lot of bug reports here)

I'll put it in my branch tonight.

Just drop a note in here when you are definite you want it pushed into trunk and I'll do so(assuming no one else does so first)

pavpanchekha said:
Thank you!

Did the makefiles (I hate makefiles) and did a brief test. Seems to be working well. I'll push once launchpad comes back up.

pavpanchekha said:
The makefiles are working well, or does that mean you've tried the applet itself?

Both.

A note about security:
This applet still doesn't offer any sort of good security.
The username AND password are both stored in memory.
Unfortunately, there is no good way to provide a secure environment from within Python. The only way I can see for that would be the gnome keychain, which has a 100% horrendous interface for python.

You can have a look to the screenlets gmail, which use gnome-keyring : https://code.launchpad.net/~screenlets-dev/screenlets/trunk
There is a test file and it's in Python :)

OK, so I guess I spoke too soon. It is an easy fix. I looked at the first version of the applet and then the second. The error I was getting was because the os wasn't defined. In Version 1, there is a line that says import os that is missing in Version 2 so, all you have to do to fix this problem is to go into the file /home/your_user/.config/awn/applets/gmail/gmail.py and add this:

 
import os
 

I put mine on line 27, but I'm sure that is flexible. After that, save it, close AWN and then restart it. Worked like a charm after that!

Hi, I cannot use this applet and the terminal output here indicated a HTTP 302 error. I don't what that is. I also get a error complaining 'global name msgs undefined'. I added a 'msgs = []' line to the module level and the error is gone, but don't know if that was right.

I have a simple question about your applet how do you install/ run it? I can't find it in the wiki, some other applets use the awn applet package this is more user friendly. Is there going to be a gmail awn applet package or is the install/running quite simple?

Two options:

* Install awn-extras

* Download the .awn file from the mediafire link and install from awn-manager.

When the mail icon is clicked, and the summary balloon appears. If the user then clicks the first icon to go to their gmail mailbox it would be nice if the user was automatically logged into their account. Other applets such as checkgmail and google talk do this.

I can try. Can you please open a bug on launchpad? This is pretty complex, however, as the google servers are quite fickle about what constitutes a login (for good reason).
