This page contains information about getting started with the Blogger API v3 by using

Sample
The blogger sample can help you get started by using the client library.
Install the client library
You can either use a package manager or manually download and install the Python client library:
Managed install
Use pip or setuptools to manage your installation. You might
need to run sudo first.
- pip (preferred):
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client
- Setuptools:
easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client
Manual install
- Download the latest client
library for Python.
- Unpack the code.
- Install:
python setup.py install
App Engine
Because the Python client libraries aren't installed in the
App Engine Python runtime environment,
you must
copy them into your application just like third-party libraries.
