Can you use Google Apps Script with Python?

Question

Google Apps Script looks to be pretty perfect for a school project, however I\'m not terribly comfortable with JavaScript and the entire rest of the project is going to be done

Answer 1

Never tried this but maybe you can use JSON (javascript object notation)

In the Utilities class of Google apps script you can find the some methods (classes) that refer to this notation. jsonParse and jsonStringify https://developers.google.com/apps-script/class_utilities

And on the other hand python has a json encoder and decoder to do the same thing on that side. http://docs.python.org/library/json.html

There are also two tutorials which refer to these json methods for Google Apps Script developers.google.com apps-script articles picasa_google_apis (being a newby I am not allowed to put full links)

And this as a background link
json.org

Than the last thing to avoid great frustrations... check out if one of these issues might be on your way to heaven.
