(Chilkat2-Python) Get Google Cloud SQL Access Token using Service Account JSON Private Key

Demonstrates how to get a Google Cloud SQL access token using a JSON service account private key. Obtaining an access token for a service account requires no user interaction (it does not require a browser, nor callback URI's, etc.).

When an access token expires, an application can be (and should be) designed to automatically fetch a new access token.

# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# First load the JSON key into a string.
