Thanks alister: yes, it turns out you can specify this in the connection, so I added it to the code like:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python   

from xml.etree import ElementTree 
import gdata.calendar.data 
import gdata.calendar.client 
import gdata.acl.data 
import atom.data 
import time 
import MySQLdb

calendar_client = gdata.calendar.client.CalendarClient()
username = 'user@gmail.com'
visibility = 'public'
projection = 'full'
feed_uri = calendar_client.GetCalendarEventFeedUri(calendar=username, visibility=visibility, projection=projection) 

# define mysql db connection/credentials 
conn = MySQLdb.connect (host = "localhost", user = "test1", passwd = "test1", db = "googlecal", charset = "utf8", use_unicode = True) 
cursor = conn.cursor ()  
feed = calendar_client.GetCalendarEventFeed(uri=feed_uri) 

print 'Events on Primary Calendar: %s' % (feed.title.text,)
for i, an_event in enumerate(feed.entry):
     print '\t%s. %s' % (i, an_event.title.text,)
     data_point = {}
     data_point[ 'title' ] = (i, an_event.title.text,)
     print '\t%s. %s' % data_point[ 'title' ]
     for a_when in an_event.when:
         print '\t\t%s. %s' % (i, an_event.content.text,)
         data_point[ 'content' ] = (i, an_event.content.text,)
         print '\t\tStart time: %s' % (a_when.start,)
         data_point[ 'start' ] = (a_when.start,)
         print '\t\tEnd time:   %s' % (a_when.end,)
         data_point[ 'end' ] = (a_when.end,)

         cursor.execute("""insert into events (id, title, content, start, end)
         values (NULL, %s, %s, %s, %s)""",
         (data_point[ 'title' ],
           data_point[ 'content' ],
          data_point[ 'start' ],
          data_point[ 'end' ]))

conn.commit()
cursor.close () 
conn.close ()

but now I get syntax error:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/unclecameron/Documents/workspace/google_pull_calendar/src/getivdailyview_gmail.cal7.py", line 41, in <module>
    data_point[ 'end' ]))
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 166, in execute
    self.errorhandler(self, exc, value)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 35, in defaulterrorhandler
    raise errorclass, errorvalue
_mysql_exceptions.ProgrammingError: (1064, 'You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version 
for the right syntax to use near \'), ("\'2011-09-09T21:00:00.000-07:00\'",))\' at line 2')

which I suspect is because the data from 'content' isn't fitting inside data_point [ 'content' ] very well? In awk/sed/bash this would relate to single/double quotes surrounding a content being put into a variable, not sure in python

DublinCore::Element(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  DublinCore::Element(3pm)

NAME
DublinCore::Element - Class for representing a Dublin Core element SYNOPSIS
my $element = DublinCore::Element->new( \%info ); print "content: ", $element->content(), " "; print "qualifier: ", $element->qualifier(), " "; print "language: ", $element->language(), " "; print "scheme: ", $element->scheme(), " "; DESCRIPTION
DublinCore::Record methods such as element(), elements(), title(), etc return DublinCore::Element objects as their result. These can be queried further to extract an elements content, qualifier, language, and schema. For a definition of these attributes please see RFC 2731 and <http://www.dublincore.org>. METHODS
new() The constructor. Take a hashref of input arguments. content() Gets and sets the content of the element. ## extract the element my $title = $record->element( 'title' ); print $title->content(); ## or you can chain them together print $record->element( 'title' )->content(); qualifier() Gets and sets the qualifier used by the element. language() Gets and sets the language of the content in element. scheme() Gets and sets the scheme used by the element. name() Gets and sets the element name (title, creator, date, etc). is_empty() Gets and sets the "empty" status of an element. This is useful when using DublinCore::Record's element() method. To see if the record has an creator elements: if( $record->element( 'creator' )->is_empty ) { # no creators } set() This function overrides the default set() behavior in order to remove the is_empty flag.
