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
dataset = datastore.get_dataset(
    '<your-project-id>',
    '<service-account-email>',
    '/path/to/your/key')
entity = dataset.entity('Person')
entity['name'] = 'Your name'
entity['age'] = 25
entity.save()

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>',
    '<service-account-email>',
    '/path/to/your/key')
key = bucket.new_key('my-test-file.txt')
key = key.upload_contents_from_string('this is test content!')
