In Google Developer Console inside your app project, on the Credentials section, you must create a new "Service Account" "Client ID", if you have not already. And download the p12 file.
On Google Play Developer Console you have to give permissions to "[email protected]" for uploading apks.
Script execution:
python basic_upload_apks_service_account.py your.package.name apk-file.apk
