Answer 1

Following works for me. I followed steps given at pygooglevoice project discussion board, comment # 17. Below are steps if one is starting from the scratch.

#Command line Google Voice:
#Updated Jan 10, 2013

#required tools:
sudo apt-get install python python-simplejson python-setuptools
sudo easy_install simplejson

# if gvoice was installed previously, then uninstall it:
sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/googlevoice
sudo rm /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygooglevoice*

#download pygooglevoice:
wget http://pygooglevoice.googlecode.com/files/pygooglevoice-0.5.tar.gz
tar -xf pygooglevoice-0.5.tar.gz
cd pygooglevoice

# edit settings.py to match correct Google Voice URL on line # 22:
nano googlevoice/settings.py

#correct URL:
LOGIN = 'https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=grandcentral'
#you may check if URL is linking to Google Voice login page in browser.
#save and quit settings.py

#install gvoice:
sudo python setup.py install

#Login and make call for the first time:
gvoice # enter login email/pwd
  gvoice> call #follow prompts and make a call
  gvoice>send_sms # or s to send sms
  gvoice>exit #quit gvoice

#After first login, you may like to edit .gvoice for default actions:
sudo nano ~/.gvoice

#end

Answer 2

I made a clone which currently works (at least for sending SMS messages): http://code.google.com/r/kkleidal-pygooglevoiceupdate/

The problem was that Google changed the login URL. In addition, I added a few params to the POST request which may have helped solve some issues it was running into with the POST request. Log in should work smoothly now.

I have the same problem before. My version is 0.5 (installed by pip) and my system is OSX 10.8. After reading issue 60 #17, I have just changed the line LOGIN = 'https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginAuth?service=grandcentral' to LOGIN = 'https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=grandcentral' in the file settings.py and then problem solved.
