python gspread google spreadsheet keeping connecti

问题:

I'm updating my spreadsheets using gspread, the process takes about an hour, i have about 200 spreadsheets. It seems about 30 minutes into the updating the sheets, the connection drops. Is there a way to keep the login alive? I thought I was keeping the connection alive because I'm opening and writing to different sheets about every 30 seconds.

I can use a try statement and if it bombs re-login. I was wondering if anybody had a better way?

I'm used to using the simple example from gspread example of:

gc = gspread.login('[e-mail]', 'password')
sht1 = gc.open_by_key('0BmgG6nO_6dprdS1MN3d3MkdPa142WFRrdnRRUWl1UFE')

How do I turn this into a keep alive connection login to arrive at sht1?

For keeping alive connection you should use persistent connection.

So if you check main document:

http://burnash.github.io/gspread/#gspread.Client

You will see the gspread.login method is instance of Client. and Client can accept http headers.

http://burnash.github.io/gspread/#gspread.httpsession.HTTPSession

Now add this header in your connection : Connection: Keep-Alive

import gspread
headers = gspread.httpsession.HTTPSession(headers={'Connection':'Keep-Alive'})
con = gspread.Client(auth=('[e-mail]','password'),http_session=headers)
con.login()
con.open_by_key('....')

Then when you get print of session headers:

print con.session.headers
Out[5]: {'Authorization': u'GoogleLogin auth=xxxxxxx', 'Connection': 'Keep-Alive'}

For persistent connection details have a look into these links:
