Using the Translator API with Python

Question

Answer 2

Thanks, I hope people find it useful as a reference.

I've also just written another snippet which uses lxml to get the text out of the xml object returned by the API (even though the current xml object is not very complex).

Answer 3

It turns out that hastebin, nifty as it is, doesn't store data very long, so I created two gists for the same code snippets:

https://gist.github.com/2790853 is the actual code example

https://gist.github.com/2790864 is the xml parsing snippet using lxml

Answer 4

Great stuff! :)
