The goal of this project is to make it really simple and Pythonic to use Google Cloud Platform services.

The library is pip-installable:

$ pip install gcloud
$ python -m gcloud.storage.demo  # Runs the storage demo!

• gcloud docs (browse all services, quick-starts, walk-throughs)
• gcloud.datastore API docs
• gcloud.storage API docs
• gcloud.bigquery API docs (coming soon)
• gcloud.compute API docs (coming soon)
• gcloud.dns API docs (coming soon)
• gcloud.sql API docs (coming soon)

Chances are you have some dependency problems... If you're on Ubuntu, try installing the pre-compiled packages:

$ sudo apt-get install python-crypto python-openssl libffi-dev

or try installing the development packages (that have the header files included) and then pip install the dependencies again:

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev
$ pip install gcloud

Make sure you have sphinx installed and:

$ git clone git://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python.git
$ pip install sphinx
$ cd gcloud-python/docs
$ make html

Make sure you have nose installed and:

$ git clone git://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python.git
$ pip install unittest2 nose
$ cd gcloud-python
$ nosetests

Before we can accept any pull requests we have to jump through a couple of legal hurdles, primarily a Contributor License Agreement (CLA):

• If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an individual CLA.
• If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, then you'll need to sign a corporate CLA.

You can sign these electronically (just scroll to the bottom). After that, we'll be able to accept your pull requests.
