New issue 640 by ccornel...@google.com: Where's the Python? Spreadsheet
link goes to non-Python page.
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/issues/detail?id=640

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click the link for Spreadsheets on
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/
2. Note that this opens
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/spreadsheets/, which has no
Python API information.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see documtation about using the Python API for spreadsheets
rather than the "Google Spreadsheets API version 3.0" which is mostly Java.

What version of the product are you using?
I currently am using API version 2.X with Python in an AppEngine
application.

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm a Googler and am trying to find API documentation for spreadsheet usage
in Python. Months ago I could find such info, but now Google searches
don't return anything from Google on this API. It feels like the Python
API is being lost or deprecated.

The note on the API 3.0 page "Version 3.0 is specified by default in the
GData Python client library. Python developers do not need to do anything
to specify a version." is not helpful if there is no API documentation.

My email is ccorn...@google.com or cwcornelius@gamil .dom

Here's a workaround I ended up with, with a small code sample:

And a call to Google Spreadsheets team to put the old docs back online:
