How can I control Google Hangouts with Python?

As a Python project, I would like to control Google Hangouts (start/end video/phone calls, mute/unmute, dial a key, etc) using Python 2.7; e.g. create a call() function that accepts email addresses and phone numbers of people in my circles/contacts and call those people.

As a newbie, however, I don't know whether:

  1. There is already a Python package that does (most of) that,
  2. I need to sign up for Google Cloud, install Google Cloud SDK, learn how to use the Google App Engine, etc. or just being logged into Google in a browser is sufficient

So, I'd appreciate if someone could sketch a brief road map for me.

For example, what Python packages do I need?

Hangups, a python instant messaging client for hangouts already exists and is probably worth a look. It's a terminal client, but it is also used as a back-end for several GUI applications.
