Python Client for Google Cloud Internet of Things (IoT) Core API
Google Cloud Internet of Things (IoT) Core API: is a complete set of tools to connect, process, store, and analyze data both at the edge and in the cloud. The platform consists of scalable, fully-managed cloud services; an integrated software stack for edge/on-premises computing with machine learning capabilities for all your IoT needs.
Install this library in a virtualenv using pip. virtualenv is a tool to
create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of
dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.
With virtualenv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system
install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
dependencies.

Supported Python Versions
Our client libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of
Python.
Python >= 3.7
Unsupported Python Versions
Python <= 3.6
If you are using an end-of-life
version of Python, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported version.
