Well, here's what I tried:

Starting at line 344 of the latest version of libgmail:
-------------------------------------------------------------
#headers = {'Host': 'www.google.com',
#           'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Compatible; libgmail-python)'}
headers = {'Host': 'www.google.com',
                 'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0;
Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; InfoPath.2)'}

req = urllib2.Request(URL_LOGIN, data=data, headers=headers)
-------------------------------------------------------------

I grabbed the header information from IE7's identification at
http://www.alanwood.net/demos/browserinfo.html.  I got the same
error.  Am I doing it wrong, or is it not working?  I'm very, very new
to net protocols and such...

Thanks,
James
