I want a better client for Google Cloud Storage, too, while we’re at it. The Python gcloud / gsutil stuff is mediocre on the best of days.

In theory, you can just use this library since GC Storage supports S3 protocol. But in practice, I’m not sure
Presumably you forgot the 'r': https://rclone.org/
Autocorrect strikes again! Yes, I meant rclone - thank you.
FUSE makes everything worse, not better. The Unix file API is awful in general, and a terrible mismatch for key-values storage systems.
`gsutil ...` was pretty bad (it is python like you say, and based on a very outdated fork of boto2).

I've had really good luck with `gcloud storage ...` though, which takes essentially the same CLI args. It's much faster and IIRC written in golang.

I'm just about to start using it. I'd love to know what issues you've encountered. Thanks!
