Python gdata Spreadsheet - save data to cell in SpreadsheetsListFeed

Question

I'm using a SpreadsheetsListFeed to read data from a Google Spreadsheet.

The sheet contains a table of customer data, including firstname, lastname, email, phone, etc. The column headers are in the top row of the sheet, and the data is in the subsequent rows. I figured a SpreadsheetsListFeed would be the best option since the data is in a tabular format.

However, now I need to use the python app to generate a customerid for each customer, and write it to the spreadsheet (only if it doesn't already exist in the sheet). I'm wondering if there is a way to do this through the SpreadsheetsListFeed or if I need to use a SpreadsheetCellsFeed and calculate the row/column values based on the existing SpreadsheetsListFeed.

The documentation for the python gdata library is a little sparse, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

That's the reason why I wrote a small wrapper lib for the spreadsheet API. It lets you work with a spreadsheet like you would with a dict.
