Over the last several months we have launched a number of tools,
such as the Google
APIs Explorer and the Google
APIs Console, that help you explore Google APIs based on our
brand new API infrastructure and manage your API access directly in your browser.
However, most of the day-to-day usage of the APIs is still via client libraries in various
programming languages.
Today, we are announcing a major milestone for
one of the Google APIs client libraries. The Google APIs Client Library for
Python has officially reached Beta. This means that we're comfortable enough with
the stability and features of the library that we'd like you to start
building real production applications on top of it and send us your
feedback. Client libraries in other languages are soon to follow.
