Greetings,
Thanks for the new Python client library! I've had a project on
the back burner for a few months and was surprised to find this
library waiting for me now that I'm getting around to it. A few
recommendations as I install it here:
1. The normal way to package and install Python libraries is
with distutils (although setuptools is gaining steam). This
means writing a setup.py script:
http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html
2. Python packages of similar scope usually use a nested
structure, i.e., this:
gdata/__init__.py
gdata/gbase/__init__.py
gdata/gbase/service.py
Instead of this:
gdata.py
gbase.py
gbase_service.py
3. Tests are usually kept in a separate subpackage rather than
interspersed with actual modules.
4. In the absence of documentation, you could at least
generate some basic API docs with Epydoc:
http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/
I've taken the liberty of posting such docs here:
http://tech2.whit537.org/2007/gdata-python/1.0/
Not sure if these were intentional departures or not, but thought
I'd mention them as I would have found the library more
immediately comfortable without them.
Thanks again! Looking forward to using the library.
