Favorite Google Analytics library for coding with?
I’ve played with a couple of Google Analytics APIs to try pulling data, and have found the official one pretty darn confusing. I’m using Python, but figured other journohackers might find a list of recommended Google Analytics libraries useful.

What all data are you trying to pull out of Analytics? If it's just the raw, basic data you want, I've had a pretty good run with Clint Ecker's library (it has a really good getting starting tutorial too). Makes it very easy to filter down the data returned (to a specific date range, visits made with a certain browser or OS, etc.), and to specify which fields you want returned. It calculates aggregates for you as well.
