Examples and Configuration Scripts

This package only provides the core components necessary to use the client libraries. If you would like to obtain example code for any of the included client libraries, you can find it on our downloads page.

Known Issues

• Due to changes to PyPI’s installation process, using ‘pip install’ to install the library currently requires a number of ‘allow-external’ and ‘allow-unverified’ flags for the external dependencies of PyXML, ElementTree, and cElementTree. If you’re using a version of Python greater than 2.5 and would prefer not to install PyXML or cElementTree from external sources, then follow the steps below to install via the tarball without those dependencies (cElementTree is installed already as a default library in > Python 2.5). Alternatively, if you would prefer to download these libraries to install yourself, they can be downloaded at these locations:

  • ElementTree

  • cElementTree

  • PyXML

• The installation of PyXML and cElementTree will fail on Ubuntu 13.04. If you are trying to install adspygoogle on Ubuntu 13.04, you should avoid installing these dependencies. If you need to use either of these dependencies, there is a work-around that can be found in this bug. Another alternative is to install manually and exclude these dependencies. To do so, first download and extract the tarball below. In the root directory, run the following command:

  $ sudo python setup.py install --no_PyXML --no_cElementTree
