Snakes on GData: Announcing the Python client library!
March 26th, 2007 | Published in Google Code
I'm very pleased to announce the latest client library for GData services: the (...drumroll please...) Python client library! Because the GData protocol is built upon standards and draft standards such as HTTP, Atom and the Atom Publishing Protocol (APP), Python developers have long been able to take advantage of the vast array of GData services including Google Base, Google Calendar, Google Spreadsheets, Blogger and more. However, in keeping with Google's mission, we wanted to make it even easier!
We've included code to help you get started with the Google Base Data API, Google Spreadsheets Data API, and Google Calendar Data API and more APIs are on the way. There's also a foundation which should be usable in any Atom or Atom Publishing Protocol (APP) project. The library is open source, and hosted on Google Code under the name gdata-python-client. If you are interested in using or contributing to the project, feel free to join the discussion group on Google Groups. I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas for improvements to the library. Happy coding!
