How to upload file on android to Google Drive using python code

Question

I am using the following python code to upload video to my Google Drive from the command on Linux. Is it possible to used on android since android based on Linux kernel? if not, is there any android service to upload the video in background (ether to Google Drive or DropBox)?

$ python uploader.py video_file.avi

uploader.py :

#!/usr/bin/python
import smtplib
import os.path
import sys
import gdata.data
import gdata.docs.data
import gdata.docs.client

from curses import ascii              


class MotionUploader:
    def __init__(self):


        self.password = "my Gmail password"
        self.sender   = "myGmail@gmail.com"                 

        # Folder (or collection) in Docs where you want the videos to go
        self.folder = 'motion'


        self._create_gdata_client()

    def _create_gdata_client(self):
        """Create a Documents List Client."""
        self.client = gdata.docs.client.DocsClient(source='motion_uploader')
        self.client.http_client.debug = False
        self.client.client_login(self.sender, self.password, service=self.client.auth_service, source=self.client.source)

    def _get_folder_resource(self):
        """Find and return the resource whose title matches the given folder."""
        col = None
        for resource in self.client.GetAllResources(uri='/feeds/default/private/full/-/folder'):
            if resource.title.text == self.folder:
                col = resource
                break    
        return col


    def _upload(self, video_file_path, folder_resource):

        doc = gdata.docs.data.Resource(type='video', title=os.path.basename(video_file_path))

        video_link = None

             if 'docs.google.com/file/d' in link.href:
                 video_link = link.href
                 break

    try:
        if len(sys.argv) < 2:
            exit('Usage: uploader.py {config-file-path} {video-file-path}')

        MotionUploader().upload_video(vid_path)

I do not really see why you would want to use Python on Android? Android can use the Google Drive API through the Google Play Services. It is very well documented here: https://developers.google.com/drive/android/get-started .

You could check the official Quickstart App as well: https://github.com/googledrive/android-quickstart .
