Finding out where analytics should be determined

Question

I am working with Google Analytics api in python and keep getting error

NameError: name 'analytics' is not defined. 

I searched for a few days on the analyticsapi site and on StackOverflow for an answer. If someone could point me in the direction of the correct documentation or help me here, that would be greatly appreciated. The attached code that I still have.

from apiclient.http import MediaFileUpload
from apiclient.errors import HttpError

try:
  media = MediaFileUpload('Bing_Ad_Test.csv',
                          mimetype='application/octet-stream',
                          resumable=False)
  daily_upload = analytics.management().uploads().uploadData(
      accountId='',
      webPropertyId='',
      customDataSourceId='',
      media_body=media).execute()

except TypeError, error:
  # Handle errors in constructing a query.
  print 'There was an error in constructing your query : %s' % error

except HttpError, error:
  # Handle API errors.
  print ('There was an API error : %s : %s' %
         (error.resp.status, error.resp.reason))
