I'll show you how to create a Python module which wraps the Google Spreadsheets Data API web service in an interface so that it looks like a local database. Using this tool, your application can run anywhere with Internet connectivity and users will be able to take their data with them. The benefit of using Google Spreadsheets for a back-end is that it provides a simple UI which is easy for non programmers to interact with. The cost of provisioning and running a Spreadsheets based database is zero from the perspective of an application developer. This example module provides a toolkit which simplifies interactions with the Google Spreadsheets API for a specific use case: using a spreadsheet like a remote database.
