I want to sync my Google Calendar with the Linux Mint 17.2 desktop; preferably through Conky. I'm aware of a method using Thunderbird but I'd rather have it set up as described here. Following the steps, however, I encounter a number of errors (such as ImportError: No module named _MozillaCookieJar among others) and I couldn't manage doing the steps right. Comments in the link update some of the outdated steps but it seems some info is still missing. I tried looking for more updated links and came across this, but again seems the steps don't work properly. Can anyone point out exactly what to do (baby steps please)?
Details: When I do the first step from the first link, I try sudo pip install google-api-python-client and I get the ImportError: No module named _MozillaCookieJar error.
When I tried the second link, I got to the step where it says pip install vobject parsedatetime and even after updating parsedatetime I still get the same ImportError: No module named _MozillaCookieJar error after trying pip install vobject parsedatetime a second time after updating. Maybe it's something wrong with pip?
Either way, I broke this question down into "Main Question" and "Details" because I think even if the "details" are fixed, I'll run into another bad step eventually and so if there is an easier way of going about this, please let me know.
sudo yum install python3and then for pip, tryapt-cache search pipto figure out the right package name, though I'm pretty sure it's python-pip.apt-cache search pipand you're right, it'spython-pipbut that's already installed apparently so I don't think that's the problem either.
