Installing the client library
You can either use a package manager or download and install the Python client library manually:
Managed installation
Use pip or setuptools to manage your installation (you might
need to run sudo first):
- pip (preferred):
$ pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client -
Setuptools:
Use the
easy_installtool included in the setuptools package:$ easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client
Manual installation
Download the latest client
library for Python, unpack the code, and run python setup.py install
App Engine
Because the Python client libraries are not installed in the App Engine Python runtime environment, they must be vendored into your application just like third-party libraries.
