Google Contacts samples are FOUR YEARS out of date (using OAuth V1) about gdata-python-client

Now it does not work at all: just a 404 error on login. The docs just have a comment "Auth here" with no example of how to connect the gdata api to the oauth2 authorization. Here is an example for others who arrive here looking for information:

Thanks @rocketraman , I was exactly looking for that.
The repository samples should be updated at some point ...

The Calendar example does not work too.
Below is the output from latest Ubuntu 19.04:
