Python

0.4.1

Getting started

The gcloud library is pip install-able:

$ pip install gcloud

If you have trouble installing pycrypto or pyopenssl (and you’re on Ubuntu), you can try install the precompiled packages:

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

If you want to install everything with pip, try installing the dev packages beforehand:

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev libssl-dev

If you want to install gcloud-python from source, you can clone the repository from GitHub:

$ git clone git://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python.git
$ cd gcloud-python
$ python setup.py install

Cloud Datastore

Google Cloud Datastore is a fully managed, schemaless database for storing non-relational data.

from gcloud import datastore
datastore.set_defaults()

entity = datastore.Entity(key=datastore.Key('Person'))
entity['name'] = 'Your name'
entity['age'] = 25
datastore.put([entity])

Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Storage allows you to store data on Google infrastructure.

from gcloud import storage
bucket = storage.get_bucket('<your-bucket-name>', '<your-project-id>')
blob = bucket.new_blob('my-test-file.txt')
blob = blob.upload_contents_from_string('this is test content!')
