Once you have credentials object saved somewhere. You can retrieve the phone numbers and other details by using following code. You just have to set the RequestMask

#get the credentials

cred_obj = OAuth2Credentials.new_from_json(credentials)
http = httplib2.Http()

#create service

people_service = build(serviceName='people', version='v1', http=cred_obj.authorize(http))

results = people_service.people().connections().list(resourceName='people/me',
                requestMask_includeField='person.names,person.emailAddresses,person.phoneNumbers',
                                                     pageSize=160)

res = results.execute()
connections = res.get('connections', [])

for person in connections:
    names = person.get('names', [])
    phone_numbers = person.get('phoneNumbers', [])
    if len(names) > 0:
        name = names[0].get('displayName')
    if len(phone_numbers)>0:
        phone_no = phone_numbers[0].get('value')
        print name, phone_no
