Google Cloud Client Library for Python

Primary LanguagePythonApache License 2.0Apache-2.0

Google Cloud Python Client

Python idiomatic clients for Google Cloud Platform services.

Heads up! These libraries are supported on App Engine standard's Python 3 runtime but are not supported on App Engine's Python 2 runtime.

General Availability

GA (general availability) indicates that the client library for a particular service is stable, and that the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless either absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.

Note

Sub-components of GA libraries explicitly marked as beta in the import path (e.g. google.cloud.language_v1beta2) should be considered to be beta.

The following client libraries have GA support:

Beta Support

Beta indicates that the client library for a particular service is mostly stable and is being prepared for release. Issues and requests against beta libraries are addressed with a higher priority.

The following client libraries have beta support:

Alpha Support

Alpha indicates that the client library for a particular service is still a work-in-progress and is more likely to get backwards-incompatible updates. See versioning for more details.

The following client libraries have alpha support:

Example Applications

  • getting-started-python - A sample and tutorial that demonstrates how to build a complete web application using Cloud Datastore, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Pub/Sub and deploy it to Google App Engine or Google Compute Engine.
  • google-cloud-python-expenses-demo - A sample expenses demo using Cloud Datastore and Cloud Storage

Authentication

With google-cloud-python we try to make authentication as painless as possible. Check out the Authentication section in our documentation to learn more. You may also find the authentication document shared by all the google-cloud-* libraries to be helpful.
