Sample

The blogger sample can help you get started by using the client library.

System requirements

Install the client library

You can either use a package manager or manually download and install the Python client library:

Managed install

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:
    easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client

Manual install

  1. Download the latest client library for Python.
  2. Unpack the code.
  3. Install:
    python setup.py install

App Engine

Because the Python client libraries aren't installed in the App Engine Python runtime environment, you must copy them into your application just like third-party libraries.
