Google does a whole lot of moving things around. Every once in a while
when you go to send entries to the calendar it times out because of
re-directs. I use delete & insert to update an event and often you
can't find the entry to delete because they "temporarily" moved it.
A while back there were new Python libraries that supposedly fixed
that. They made things a little better but there are still issues.
I suppose the best thing is to put it out there for you and maybe you
guys can help. There is a way to "follow" the links to find your
entries but I have not had the time to get into it.
My technique is to create a text file with parameters in it, run my
Python exe, and parse a successful response or read a failure message -
both text files. Creating and parsing the responses is done in FoxPro
and everything else is done in the Python exe.
I am totally swamped right now, but I have (and have had) the posting of
this code on my to do list!

Has anyone here cracked the VFP to/from Gmail calendar integration?
I thought Jeff was making progress?
Jeff,
Are you using the API v3? From what I'm reading versions 1 and 2 are
deprecated and it appears they will be turned off in November of this year.
For a few years, I've had VFP code working on v1 using XML. Version 3 uses
json. We decided to use the .NET library available for the calendar. I am
just at the end of the tunnel doing some last minute additions. The
authorization process makes it easy for a customer to authorize access to
the wrong google account. If someone is already logged into a Google
account, the authorization page comes straight up. The only way to know
which account you are connecting to is by looking up in the right corner to
see which email is there. This makes it easy for an employee to attempt to
connect the process to a company Google account, and actually connect it to
their personal one.

Tracy: I am using the latest Python libraries but I see that the API
will be deprecated in November. I am going to redo my application with
version 3 and then post it. A quick glance at the newer version looks
cleaner.
