Hi,

I think you can try to download
http://effbot.org/media/downloads/elementtree-1.2.6-20050316.tar.gz
ElementTree manually , unpack and run installation :
$ python setup.py install


I will check thi out on my ubuntu box.

Sorry for the deleted comment. The problem was related with versions of python-gdata and python-elementtree. For ubuntu users, the versions in hardy heron are needed.

python-elementtree (1.2.6-11ubuntu1)
python-gdata (1.0.9-1)

On line 39 of bg.py, you ask for an inline password using sys.stdin.readline(). I recommend changing it to getpass.getpass() instead - it functions similar to readline in that it fills a variable with a string, but it does not display the password on stdout (the screen).

You will have to import getpass for this function, it is part of the standard python 2.5.
