I would like to use Google Data API but I'm using Python 3. I didn't see that they mention anything about Python 3. Is it possible to install gdata for Python 3?

  • Have you tried running it through 2to3.py? – Duncan Feb 03 '11 at 12:09

    I did run it through 2to3, plus some manual changes. May well not work, but if you want to build on it: http://code.google.com/r/takowl-gdata-py3k/source/list – Thomas K Feb 03 '11 at 12:43

Not yet, but given that it's all based around exchanging xml-formatted messages, you can easily use it at this lower level from Python 3.

  • You mean, I can download gdata and use it in Python 3? – snakile Feb 03 '11 at 12:06

    No, I mean it's a protocol, you just need an xml library to use it. On top of that, Google also provides a library, which as far as I know is not compatible with Python 2.x. But you don't have to use that to take advantage of Google Data API. – UncleZeiv Feb 03 '11 at 12:07

The gdata client is just a wrapper around the basic XML/http protocol that is used. You can use the basic protocol instead.

But it's probably easier to port gdata to Python 3, though. Contact the authors.

Via another question, someone has created a python module for the spreadsheets API that does work with Python 3.

Now you can just pip3 install google-api-python-client and you'll have it. ;)

  • That does not install `gdata`, but [this](https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client). – Albert Jun 14 '18 at 18:00

Python 3.x version: pip install -e git+https://github.com/dvska/gdata-python3#egg=gdata
