Actually my requirement is
in an web application when user enters User name and Password,
back end i needs to check, is it they entered correct user name with
password ( here i want to read the Spread Sheet Data in Python code ),
for this i will keep all the user names and passwords in Google Spread Sheet
I can't answer your question about reading Google spreadsheets but I do
wonder why you are trying to solve a database problem with a
spreadsheet in the first place, especially with all the support Python
has for database access.
Hardly even a database problem. OP only needs a dict mapping username
to passwd. Of course, that could grow...
An issue not touched on is that passwords should *not* be kept in
plaintext form. Hence the data store should be written by program and
not hand-edited. With a small dict kept in memory, a pickle might work
fine.
