Python client for Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM)

Usage
------------
RTFM [here](http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/gcm.html)

Basic
```python
gcm = GCM(API_KEY)
data = {'param1': 'value1', 'param2': 'value2'}

# Plaintext request
gcm.plaintext_request(registration_id=reg_id, data=data)

# JSON request
reg_ids = ['12', '34', '69']
response = gcm.json_request(registration_ids=reg_ids, data=data)

# Extra arguments
res = gcm.json_request(
registration_ids=reg_ids, data=data,
collapse_key='uptoyou', delay_while_idle=True, time_to_live=3600
)
```

Error handling
```python
# Plaintext request
reg_id = '12345'
try:
canonical_id = gcm.plaintext_request(registration_id=reg_id, data=data)
if canonical_id:
# Repace reg_id with canonical_id in your database
entry = entity.filter(registration_id=reg_id)
entry.registration_id = canonical_id
entry.save()
except GCMNotRegisteredException:
# Remove this reg_id from database
entity.filter(registration_id=reg_id).delete()
except GCMUnavailableException:
# Resent the message

# JSON request
reg_ids = ['12', '34', '69']
response = gcm.json_request(registration_ids=reg_ids, data=data)

# Handling errors
if 'errors' in response:
for error, reg_ids in response.items():
# Check for errors and act accordingly
if error is 'NotRegistered':
# Remove reg_ids from database
for reg_id in reg_ids:
entity.filter(registration_id=reg_id).delete()
if 'canonical' in response:
for canonical_id, reg_id in response.items():
# Repace reg_id with canonical_id in your database
entry = entity.filter(registration_id=reg_id)
entry.registration_id = canonical_id
entry.save()
```
