As mjbauer95 pointed out, there's no gdata python library support for gmail. We 
would like to support mail operations at some point, though.

I know this project centers around gdata - but I think email sending could be 
accomplished with the use of the python imaplib [1], and smtplib [2].  It even 
seems there is the ability to use oauth with imap [3] if that would be a 
requirement.

On the other hand there are plenty of email utilities out there that are 
perfectly capable of doing this already (sendmail anyone?) that the email part 
might be a little redundant.

I'm going to mark this as WontFix, even though it would be nice. I've added a 
bit in the FAQ about supporting services outside gdata-python-client.
