How to get the rows of specific worksheet on public spreadsheet using gdata in python

Question

I am using gdata on python to read the rows of specific worksheet from public spreadsheet when i tried the following code

client = gdata.spreadsheet.service.SpreadsheetsService()  
   key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'  
   worksheets_feed = client.GetWorksheetsFeed(key, visibility='public', projection='values')  
   # print worksheets_feed
   for entry in worksheets_feed.entry:
       print entry.title.text
       worksheet_id = entry.id.text.rsplit('/',1)[1]
       rows = client.GetListFeed(key, worksheet_id).entry

getting the error as

  File "lib/scrapper.py", line 89, in <module>

    start_it() 

  File "lib/scrapper.py", line 56, in start_it

Answer 1

Try:

worksheet_feed = spreadsheet.GetWorksheetsFeed(spreadsheetId)
worksheetfeed = []
for worksheet in worksheet_feed.entry:
    worksheetfeed.append(worksheet.id.text.rsplit('/', 1)[0]) 
list_feed = spreadsheet.GetListFeed(spreadsheetId, worksheetfeed[0])#get first worksheet
entryList = []
for entry in list_feed.entry:
    tempDict = {}
    for key in entry.custom:
        tempDict[str(key)] = str(entry.custom[key].text)

where spreadsheetId has been defined and you have been previously authenticated.
