GAM Python Library Help

[Dametrius King]

Hello everyone,

Does anybody have any documentation on how to use the gam package in Python? I tried using the help() function and was even more confused.

Thanks for your help,

Dametrius King

I'm curious about this as well. 

best,

Dale

Dale,

Here's a trivial example.

#!/usr/bin/env python3                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

""" Sample Python script to call GAM"""

import multiprocessing

import sys

import gam

if __name__ == '__main__':

# One time initialization                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

  if sys.platform == 'darwin':

    multiprocessing.set_start_method('fork')

  gam.initializeLogging()

#                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

  gam.CallGAMCommand(['gam', 'version'])

  # Issue command, output goes to stdout/stderr                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  rc = gam.CallGAMCommand(['gam', 'info', 'domain'])

  # Issue command, redirect stdout/stderr                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

  rc = gam.CallGAMCommand(['gam', 'redirect', 'stdout', 'domain.txt', 'redirect', 'stderr', 'stdout', 'info', 'domain'])

The example Ross gave is good. There's a longstanding feature request to make GAM a Python library that others can import and use but it's not GAM's primary purpose to do so and is unlikely to be implemented anytime soon. For most developer use cases they should probably be utilizing the same google-auth and google-api-python-client libraries GAM uses anyhow.

Jay, 

Thanks for that tip. Good to know. I've been using Python's os.system() to call the gam commands in Mac terminal. It works, but it's pretty slow.  

best,

Dale
