Install the Python client library to Google Data API

The python-gdata library provided by the Debian repositories is obsolescent. This howto install the library latest version.

This howto is tested on :

  • Debian 6.0 Squeeze
  • Debian 7.0 Wheezy

This howto is tested with these versions:

  • 2.0.17

Installation

Install the needed software :

command apt-get install python-lxml

Download the latest version sources with the sf-downloader script :

command wget 'https://raw.github.com/biapy/howto.biapy.com/master/various/sf-downloader' \
    --quiet --no-check-certificate --output-document='/tmp/sf-downloader'
command chmod +x '/tmp/sf-downloader'
SOURCE="$(/tmp/sf-downloader --googlecode --tgz 'gdata-python-client' 'gdata-VERSION.tar.gz')"

Change to the sources folder :

command pushd "${SOURCE}"

Install the library :

command python "setup.py" "install"

Exit the sources folder :

command popd

Delete the downloaded files :

command rm -r "${SOURCE}"

Thanks
