Deno 2.2 Improves Dependency Management and Expands Node.js Compatibility
Deno 2.2 enhances Node.js compatibility, improves dependency management, adds OpenTelemetry support, and expands linting and task automation for developers.
PyDrive is a wrapper library of
google-api-python-client <https://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/>
_
that simplifies many common Google Drive API tasks.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyDrive <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyDrive>
_Official documentation on GitHub pages <https://googledrive.github.io/PyDrive/docs/build/html/index.html>
_https://github.com/googledrive/PyDrive <https://github.com/googledrive/PyDrive>
_Google Drive API <https://developers.google.com/drive/>
_ into
classes of each resource to make your program more object-oriented.You can install PyDrive with regular pip
command.
::
$ pip install PyDrive
To install the current development version from GitHub, use:
::
$ pip install git+https://github.com/googledrive/PyDrive.git#egg=PyDrive
Download client_secrets.json from Google API Console and OAuth2.0 is done in two lines. You can customize behavior of OAuth2 in one settings file settings.yaml.
.. code:: python
from pydrive.auth import GoogleAuth
from pydrive.drive import GoogleDrive
gauth = GoogleAuth()
gauth.LocalWebserverAuth()
drive = GoogleDrive(gauth)
Upload/update the file with one method. PyDrive will do it in the most efficient way.
.. code:: python
file1 = drive.CreateFile({'title': 'Hello.txt'})
file1.SetContentString('Hello')
file1.Upload() # Files.insert()
file1['title'] = 'HelloWorld.txt' # Change title of the file
file1.Upload() # Files.patch()
content = file1.GetContentString() # 'Hello'
file1.SetContentString(content+' World!') # 'Hello World!'
file1.Upload() # Files.update()
file2 = drive.CreateFile()
file2.SetContentFile('hello.png')
file2.Upload()
print('Created file %s with mimeType %s' % (file2['title'],
file2['mimeType']))
# Created file hello.png with mimeType image/png
file3 = drive.CreateFile({'id': file2['id']})
print('Downloading file %s from Google Drive' % file3['title']) # 'hello.png'
file3.GetContentFile('world.png') # Save Drive file as a local file
# or download Google Docs files in an export format provided.
# downloading a docs document as an html file:
docsfile.GetContentFile('test.html', mimetype='text/html')
PyDrive handles file listing pagination for you.
.. code:: python
# Auto-iterate through all files that matches this query
file_list = drive.ListFile({'q': "'root' in parents"}).GetList()
for file1 in file_list:
print('title: %s, id: %s' % (file1['title'], file1['id']))
# Paginate file lists by specifying number of max results
for file_list in drive.ListFile({'maxResults': 10}):
print 'Received %s files from Files.list()' % len(file_list) # <= 10
for file1 in file_list:
print('title: %s, id: %s' % (file1['title'], file1['id']))

google-api-client library
is not thread-safe <https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/guide/thread_safety>
_,
which means that every request has to re-authenticate an http object. You
can avoid this overhead by
creating your own http object for each thread and re-use it for every call.
This can be done as follows:
.. code:: python
# Create httplib.Http() object.
http = drive.auth.Get_Http_Object()
# Create file object to upload.
file_obj = drive.CreateFile()
file_obj['title'] = "file name"
# Upload the file and pass the http object into the call to Upload.
file_obj.Upload(param={"http": http})
You can specify the http-object in every access method which takes a param parameter.
