Como instalar o #Google Command Line Tool

A última da empresa de Mountain View é direcionada aos adeptos da linha de comando. A ferramenta permite acesso aos serviços do Blogger, Calendar, Youtube, Picasa, Docs e Contatos a partir da linha de comando, incluindo opções para listar eventos do calendário, contatos, álbuns, postar artigos, vídeos, fotos e um sem número de outras funções úteis para usuários dos serviços da Google (quem não é, né ?).

A instalação é muito simples, e requer a instalação de dois pacotes, uma biblioteca python e a ferramenta em si.

Descompacte os arquivos baixados com um "tar -xzvf <arquivo>" e execute a instalação de cada um com o comando "python setup.py install" (como root). 

Depois disso você terá a disposição o comando "google". Segue abaixo a saída do comando "google --help" (é muito simples de usar, não ?).
