Register for an OAuth 2.0 "Services Account" Client in your xTuple Mobile Client's "OAUTH2" interface. You will be prompted to download a PK12 keystore file. See OAuth 2.0 Service Accounts Scenario for more information.
Save the PK12 keystore file in the same directory as this file and the contacts.py file.
Edit the contacts.py file and set all your OAuth 2.0 Client settings. See all of the TODOs in the file to find out where to do that.
Install the Google APIs Client Library for Python on your system so it is available for this example to import.
Make sure your xTuple Mobile Client is running before running contacts.py.

Run the contacts.py script from the command line:

$ python contacts.py

You should be presented with a JSON object containting a list of contacts.
