Hi, For your first question - The Visualization API is a read only interface, that does not have methods to write data back to the data source. This is an intentional decision, as this API is focused on visualizing data. Naturally, some data sources have a way to write data back, while some others don't. The differences are too big to gap with a single API. If you are using Google Spreadsheets as your data source, then there is a data API for this product, that lets you read and update data programatically. Just search for Google Spreadsheets data interface, and you will find more info.
As for your second question, I failed to understand what you want to achieve. GGE is an engine to render html gadget from the gadget XML description. How do you want to combine this with the python library?
