Sample Task insert using Google API Client library for Python

inserttask.py

# Insert a new task into the user's default task list
# Based upon the sample urlshortener.py code for the
# Google API Python Client library
# http://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/source/browse/samples/urlshortener/urlshortener.py

# Note that the response to the task insert is a 200, rather than a 201

# If you want to run this, get your own client_id and client_secret using the 
# Google API Console https://code.google.com/apis/console/
