Youtube API v2 client for Python

Question

YouTube API v1 has been deprecated and switching to v2 or later is recommended. However Python seems to be the only language left with v1 client. PHP, Java and others got v2.

1. Has python client been abandoned by YT team? (similar to how Facebook withdraw their Python SDK)
2. Are there any other 3rd party YT clients for v2?
3. Do I really have to develop from scratch to get v2 compatibility?

Answer 1

Unfortunately atm Python SDK supports v1 only, more details on YouTube API forum here
