Can you use Google Apps Script with Python?

Tags:

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 in Python. Is there a way to access it using a Python library? Or do I need to suck it up and learn JavaScript?

This tutorial is the closest thing I've found in my searching and isn't quite what I want.

No, Google Apps Script is its own programming language. There are a number of APIs for individual Google Apps, but they are not as comprehensive as what is provided via Google Apps Script. They're generally focused on providing access to the data, and might be suitable if you don't need to edit it.

It is now possible to make requests to Google Apps Script from Python via the new Execution API, which uses a REST interface. Related blog post announcement. Learning some JS is still required.
