At https://developers.google.com/drive/quickstart-python it says to use easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client to install the library. In the video they use:
dhcp-172-19-39-181:gdl ccherubino$ sudo easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client
neither of them work for me I get a "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" [the : after 181 is supposedly invalid].
I have the easy_install tools installed.
That's just their prompt. You type in the bit after
$. But you do it from the shell, not from Python.
