Hi S K,

You need to clarify what you're trying to do. Are you trying to access
a Google Docs spreadsheet from an App Engine app, trying to access a
password protected excel file, or something else entirely?

Hi S K,

You can access the contents of a Google Docs spreadsheet using the
Google Spreadsheets API. Documentation is available here:
http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/overview.html

In addition, you'll need to incorporate a session management system
like Beaker, or issue your own cookies, to keep track of a user once
they're authenticated.
