Have you tried GoogleCL?

Hey.. GoogleCL ( Go to http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/06/introducing-google-command-line-tool.html ) is really awesome stuff from google .

First you need to install Google Data Python Client LIb and then you can access google services from cmd line using GoogleCL .

I just listed all docs of my Google Docs . Now, I am set to do all cmd line stuffs . Just need to write scripts .

Basically, GoogleCL is a pure Python application that uses the Python gdata libraries to make Google Data API calls from the command line.

References:

1. For Google Data Python Client Library : http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/python_client_lib.html

You have to have python 2.5 or higher.

2.
GoogleCL Project Page:
http://code.google.com/p/googlecl

Instructions For Installing GoogleCL:
1. DEPENDENCIES
GoogleCL requires Python 2.5 or 2.6 and the gdata python client library.
You can get the library from the project homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/

The installation directions for the client library should also contain
directions on installing Python, if you don’t have it already.

2. INSTALLING GOOGLECL
Short instructions:
From the command line, in the directory as this file, run
$ sudo python setup.py install

or

$ python setup.py install –home=~
(remember to set your PYTHONPATH to include your home directory if you
do it this way)

For more detailed instructions, I recommend looking at the gdata-python-client
INSTALL.txt file. It also has instructions on modifying PYTHONPATH.

After installing Google Data Python Lib ( http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/python_client_lib.html ), you will have sample and example scripts. You can now write your own scripts for accessing various google services.

Just running docs_example.py :
