Consuming GAE Endpoints with a Python client

问题

I am using Google AppEngine Endpoints to build a web API. I will consume it with a client written in Python. I know that scripts are provided to generate Android and iOS client API, but it doesn't seem that there is anything comparable for Python.

It does seem redundant to code everything again. For instance, the messages definition which are basically the same.

It there anyway of getting this done more easily?

Thanks

You can use the Google APIs Client Library for Python which is compatible with endpoints.

Normally you would build a client using service = build(api, version, http=http) for example service = build("plus", "v1", http=http) to build a client to access to Google+ API.

For using the library for your endpoint you would use:

service = build("your_api", "your_api_version", http=http, 
  discoveryServiceUrl=("https://yourapp.appspot.com/_ah/api/discovery/v1/"
                       "apis/{api}/{apiVersion}/rest"))

You can then access your API with

result = service.resource().method([parameters]).execute()

Here's what happens with the endpoints helloworld greetings example:

__author__ = 'robertking'

import httplib2
from apiclient.discovery import build

http = httplib2.Http()

service = build("helloworld", "v1", http=http,
  discoveryServiceUrl=("http://localhost:8080/_ah/api/discovery/v1/apis/helloworld/v1/rest"))

print service.greetings().listGreeting().execute()['items']

"""
prints
[{u'message': u'hello world!'}, {u'message': u'goodbye world!'}]
"""

Right now I'm using http.
