[ Uploading a spreadsheet to google docs results in 502 request error ]

I'm simply attempting to upload a spreadsheet to google docs via the gdata package. And it the code runs successfully! The csv appears on google docs correctly but I receive this error which terminates my code...

Please try again in 30 seconds. That\xe2\x80\x99s all we know.\n', 'reason': 'Bad Gateway'}

My code is the following

import os
import sys
import gdata.docs
import gdata.docs.service
import gdata.docs.client

email = 'change_this@gmail.com'
password = 'this_too'

gd_client = gdata.docs.service.DocsService()
gd_client.ClientLogin(email, password)

f = open('test.csv')
ms = gdata.MediaSource(file_handle=f, content_type='text/csv', content_length=os.path.getsize(f.name))
entry = gd_client.Upload(ms, 'Backup')

After much searching I found this link: How to upload documents with new python-gdata (2.0.16)? and easily adapted it to my problem. The issue was that my code had become outdated since previous versions of gdata.

import gdata.docs.data
import gdata.docs.client

email = 'change_this@gmail.com'
password = 'this_too'

client = gdata.docs.client.DocsClient(source='poetic-harmony-508')
client.api_version = "3"
client.ssl = True
client.ClientLogin(email, password, client.source)

filePath = "path/filename.csv"
newResource = gdata.docs.data.Resource(filePath, "csv")

media = gdata.data.MediaSource()
media.SetFileHandle(filePath, 'text/csv')

newDocument = client.CreateResource(newResource, create_uri=gdata.docs.client.RESOURCE_UPLOAD_URI, media=media)

I also found this resource helpful in understanding the parameters: https://gdata-python-client.googlecode.com/hg/pydocs/
