GoogleCL: Google command line

While the user interface is moving towards multi-screens and interactive interfaces probably worthy of the greatest science fiction films, for its part, Google has decided to rewrite the old terminal to the taste of the day, a great way to revive the interest of the most geeky of you.

Originally created by the team of Google Street View to their own needs, GoogleCL was developed in Python and can interact with the company's core services without going through a browser and directly command line. Among the sites already compatible include Blogger, Google Calendar, Contacts, Documents, Picasa or YouTube.

Rather than go to the Gmail address book to add a new contact, then play the real geek and type:
$ Google add contacts "First Name, adresse@email.com" contacts.csv

Publish an article on blogger, go see the item, edit a document, create a photo album or even publish a video, GoogleCL supports thirty orders. The project is open source, new features should be added subsequently.
