Hi @ihecker,

thanks for pointing out this issue! The new googledrive update 2.1.0 changed something in the authentication configure. I will investigate this issue.

Quick hack: installing googledrive version 2.0.0 should allow you to install trackdown. I know it is not ideal, but I will update to fix the issue

Hi @ihecker

I just released version 1.5.1 that fixed compatibility with the new version of googledrive🎉.

googledirve and gargle (the two packages that manage the communication with Google APIs) changed their underlying functions and arguments. In particular, what was named before app now is client. It is still an ongoing transformation as most functions allow deprecated arguments.

Be sure to install the new version of googledirve and gargle, they are required by trackdown (I already specified it in the Imports section so everything should be automatic).

Now everything should be fixed! I close the issue.

But if there are still problems with the installation, do not hesitate to reopen the issue!😉
