Tried this out the noble PPA this evening, but failed to get the authentication working. Specifically: following the guide at [1] everything went smoothly up until the "last part" of executing gcalcli with the generated client-id.
At this point, gcalcli produced a URL to open. I needed to do this on another machine as the machine running gcalcli is a headless server with no GUI installed. I duly opened the URL on a desktop machine, authenticated as my user, allowed permissions, but then the browser attempted to navigate to a localhost:8080 URL which obviously failed. Looking on the headless server I could it had indeed opened up a local server to receive the request, but this naturally had failed at this point. My next attempt I tweaked the redirection URL to point to the headless server, but the google authentication step then complained this was an invalid redirection URL (I get the impression it *must* be localhost, which probably makes sense from a security standpoint). My last attempt, I tried opening the localhost:8080 URL on the headless server using elinks, hoping the system might be able to deal with a JS- less text-only browser, but no. Oh well, I should probably go and read up on how OAuth is meant to handle headless systems...
