@vinitkumar Maybe you have an idea to solve this?

[vinitkumar]

@lgalke I didn't look much deeply into this. But looks like it is because gdata is not Python3 ready yet.

google/gdata-python-client#47

More details here:
google/gdata-python-client#29

The fix appears to be this:

scipy/scipy@e60098c
i.e. Changing from func_name to name as func_name disappeared in Python3.

I suppose we might need to send a PR to the gdata-python-client with the fix or maintain a fork ourselves.

[lgalke]

People are suspecting that gdata is no longer maintained and start using
https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client instead. Switching to that library would presumably result in some big changes in googlecl, but would be probably cleaner on the long run.

[vinitkumar]

@lgalke I totally agree. Would definitely require more engineering effort for sure.
