gspreadplusplus

A Python library that enhances Google Sheets operations with additional functionality and improved data type handling.

Features

• Intelligent handling of various data types (numbers, dates, timestamps, etc.)
• Preserve or update sheet headers
• Selective column clearing options
• Automatic date formatting
• Sheet dimension management
• Configuration management with key-value storage

Installation

pip install gspreadplusplus

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• gspread
• pyspark
• google-auth

Usage

Basic DataFrame Export

from gspreadplusplus import GPP
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

# Initialize Spark and create a DataFrame
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("example").getOrCreate()
df = spark.createDataFrame([
    ("2024-01-01", 100, "Complete"),
    ("2024-01-02", 150, "Pending")
], ["date", "amount", "status"])

# Your Google Sheets credentials
creds_json = {
    "type": "service_account",
    # ... rest of your service account credentials
}

# Export DataFrame to Google Sheets
GPP.df_to_sheets(
    df=df,
    spreadsheet_id="your_spreadsheet_id",
    sheet_name="Sheet1",
    creds_json=creds_json
)

Advanced DataFrame Export Options

GPP.df_to_sheets(
    df=df,
    spreadsheet_id="your_spreadsheet_id",
    sheet_name="Sheet1",
    creds_json=creds_json,
    english_locale=True,  # Use '.' as decimal separator
    keep_header=True,     # Preserve existing header row
    erase_whole=False     # Clear only necessary columns
)

Configuration Management

The library provides functionality to store and update configuration values in a Google Sheet. By default, it uses a sheet named "CONFIG" with keys in column A and values in column B.

# Store or update a configuration value
result = GPP.set_config(
    spreadsheet_id="your_spreadsheet_id",
    key="api_endpoint",
    value="https://api.example.com",
    creds_json=creds_json,
    sheet_name="CONFIG"  # Optional, defaults to "CONFIG"
)

if result == 0:
    print("Configuration updated successfully")
else:
    print("Error updating configuration")

The set_config function will:

• Search for the key in column A
• If found, update the corresponding value in column B
• If not found, append a new row with the key-value pair
• Return 0 on success, 1 on error

Data Type Support

The library automatically handles conversion of various data types:

• Strings
• Integers (regular, long, bigint)
• Floating point numbers (double, float)
• Decimals
• Dates
• Timestamps
• Booleans

Null values are converted to:

• 0 for numeric types
• Empty string for other types

Error Handling

The library implements comprehensive error handling:

• Returns status codes for operations (0 for success, 1 for failure)
• Prints detailed error messages for debugging
• Gracefully handles missing keys, sheet access issues, and credential problems
