Google announced a command-line utility called GoogleCL based on Python . The tool offers various Google services from the command line, including Blogger, Calendar, Contacts, Picasa, Google Docs, and YouTube.

You can download the Linux package or compressed tar file here .

Once installed, you can access Google services from the command line. Access to services is generally limited to a few commands, usually “Add / Upload,” “Delete” and “List.” YouTube, Picasa, Blogger and all let you add tags to your posts, and Picasa also lets you download your photos with one command “get”.

“List” can also give different arguments to define how results are returned as title, url, author, date, and location.

Members of Google Street View team, Jason Holt, and Tom Miller said the team hopes to have the tool included in Debian and Ubuntu repositories in time for their next release.
