This repo contains developer code samples from the Coding #Python and #Google with @wescpy blog as well as older but still relevant content such as posts from the old G Suite blog as well as @wescpy's former Google/Python blog. Where possible and time-permitting, equivalent Node.js samples will be available as well.
Samples demonstrating only one product group are prefixed under the product group name (see table below) while cross-product samples will go into multi.

"Support" will be provided in a "best-effort" manner. Open to fixes and updates to existing samples and affected blog posts. File a "bug" against an existing sample with details. If there is a "missing" sample you are proposing that doesn't exist (whether you write the code and submit the PR or are requesting someone do it), also file a bug and state why it would benefit the community. Currently, only (server-side) Python and JavaScript (Node.js, Apps Script) samples are being considered.
