[bloggerDev] posting html content

Hi, i'm trying to experiment with blogger api using puthon.So wrote a
simple test code. I created the blog post content with open office and
saved it as a html document. In the code i used the open().read()
method to read the content of the html file and used the client to
post it to blogger. But i'm getting these errors:

program code:
#!/usr/bin/python

from gdata import service
import gdata
import atom
import getopt
import sys

class BloggerExample:
def __init__(self, email, password):
# Authenticate using ClientLogin.
self.service = service.GDataService(email, password)
self.service.source = 'Blogger_Python_Sample-1.0'
self.service.service = 'blogger'
self.service.server = 'www.blogger.com'
self.service.ProgrammaticLogin()

# Get the blog ID for the first blog.
feed = self.service.Get('/feeds/default/blogs')
self_link = feed.entry[0].GetSelfLink()
if self_link:
self.blog_id = self_link.href.split('/')[-1]

def PrintUserBlogTitles(self):
"""Prints a list of all the user's blogs."""

# Request the feed.
query = service.Query()
query.feed = '/feeds/default/blogs'
feed = self.service.Get(query.ToUri())

# Print the results.
print feed.title.text
for entry in feed.entry:
print "\t" + entry.title.text
print

def CreatePost(self, title, content, author_name, is_draft):
# Create the entry to insert.
entry = gdata.GDataEntry()
entry.author.append(atom.Author(atom.Name(text=author_name)))
entry.title = atom.Title(title_type='xhtml', text=title)
entry.content = atom.Content(content_type='html', text=content)
if is_draft:
control = atom.Control()
control.draft = atom.Draft(text='yes')
entry.control = control

# Ask the service to insert the new entry.
return self.service.Post(entry,
'/feeds/' + self.blog_id + '/posts/default')

def main():
email=" "
password=" "
sample = BloggerExample(email, password)
priblog=BloggerExample.PrintUserBlogTitles(sample)
body=open("justblog.html", "r").readlines()
postit=BloggerExample.CreatePost(sample,'testpost',body,"Post
author", False)
print "success"

if __name__ == '__main__':
