Python Client for Cloud Tasks API#
Cloud Tasks API: Manages the execution of large numbers of distributed requests.
Quick Start#
In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps:
Installation#
Install this library in a virtualenv using pip. virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.
With virtualenv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system dependencies.

Python == 2.7. Python 2.7 support will be removed on January 1, 2020.
