Google Cloud Python Client

Python idiomatic client for Google Cloud Platform services.

• Homepage

This client supports the following Google Cloud Platform services:

• Google Cloud Datastore
• Google Cloud Storage

If you need support for other Google APIs, check out the Google APIs Python Client library.

Quickstart

$ pip install gcloud

Google Cloud Datastore

Google Cloud Datastore is a fully managed, schemaless database for storing non-relational data. Cloud Datastore automatically scales with your users and supports ACID transactions, high availability of reads and writes, strong consistency for reads and ancestor queries, and eventual consistency for all other queries.

See the Google Cloud Datastore docs for more details on how to activate Cloud Datastore for your project.

See the gcloud-python API documentation to learn how to interact with the Cloud Datastore using this Client Library.

from gcloud import datastore
dataset = datastore.get_dataset('dataset-id-here',
                                'long-email@googleapis.com',
                                '/path/to/private.key')
# Then do other things...
query = dataset.query().kind('EntityKind')
entity = dataset.entity('EntityKind')

Google Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Storage allows you to store data on Google infrastructure with very high reliability, performance and availability, and can be used to distribute large data objects to users via direct download.

You need to create a Google Cloud Storage bucket to use this client library. Follow the steps on the Google Cloud Storage docs to learn how to create a bucket.

See the gcloud-python API documentation to learn how to connect to the Cloud Storage using this Client Library.

import gcloud.storage
bucket = gcloud.storage.get_bucket('bucket-id-here',
                                    'long-email@googleapis.com',
                                    '/path/to/private.key')
# Then do other things...
key = bucket.get_key('/remote/path/to/file.txt')
print key.get_contents_as_string()
key.set_contents_from_string('New contents!')
bucket.upload_file('/remote/path/storage.txt', '/local/path.txt')
