Running

You can run your starter application with:

python sampler.py

Please read sampler.py carefully, it contains detailed information in the comments.

Installation

The full source for the google-api-python-client library is included in this starter application, but the library has not been installed on your system. That means that this sample will run from within the unzipped directory, but from nowhere else.

The easiest way to install the client library into your system is by running easy_install:

easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client

You might need to add a 'sudo' to the beginning of that command depending on your platform. If you don't have easy_install you can get it by installing the setuptools package.
