Please tell me how to fix it,

UPDATE: Fixed. Follow Nijjin's help. I fixed the problems by adding the following folders.

apiclient, gflags, httplib2, oauth2client, uritemplate

Answer 1

You can get these dependencies with this simple installation:

 sudo pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client 

This is described on the quick launch page for python .

Answer 2

apiclient was the original name of the library.
At some point, he was switched to googleapiclient .

If your code runs on Google App Engine, both should work.

If you run the application yourself, with google-api-python-client installed, both should work.

Although, if we look at the source code of the apiclient package __init__.py module , we will see that the apiclient module was just supported for backward compatibility.

Save apiclient as an alias for googleapiclient.

So, you really should use googleapiclient in your code, since the apiclient alias was just saved so as not to break the legacy code.

 # bad from apiclient.discovery import build # good from googleapiclient.discovery import build 

Answer 3

apiclient not on the list of the third-party library provided by the appengine runtime: http://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/libraries27 .

You need to copy apiclient to the project directory and you also need to copy these uritemplate and httplib2 .

Note. Any third-party library that is not in the documentation list should be copied to the appengine project project directory.

Answer 4

There is a download for the Google API API Client Library, which contains the library and all its dependencies, named as google-api-python-client-gae- <version> .zip in the project download section. Just unzip it into your App Engine project.

Answer 5

For an application engine project, you must install lib locally by typing

 pip install -t lib google-api-python-client

Answer 6

I had the same problem due to an error installing the URITemplate module.

This solved the problem:

 pip install --force-reinstall uritemplate.py 

Answer 7

Make sure you only have google-api-python-client installed. If you installed apiclient , this will lead to a collision. So run the following:

 sudo pip uninstall apiclient 

Answer 8

I fixed the problem by reinstalling the package with:

 pip install --force-reinstall google-api-python-client 

Answer 9

"google-api-python-client" requires:

 pip install uritemplate.py 

To fix the problem on the GAE development server:

 from googleapiclient.discovery import build ImportError: No module named googleapiclient.discovery 

Answer 10

I ran into the same problem. This worked:

 >>> import pkg_resources >>> pkg_resources.require("google-api-python-client") [google-api-python-client 1.5.3 (c:\python27), uritemplate 0.6 (c:\python27\lib\site-packages\uritemplate-0.6-py2.7.egg), six 1.10.0 (c:\python27\lib\site-packages\six-1.10.0-py2.7.egg), oauth2client 3.0.0 (c:\python27\lib\site-packages\oauth2client-3.0.0-py2.7.egg), httplib2 0.9.2 (c:\python27\lib\site-packages\httplib2-0.9.2-py2.7.egg), simplejson 3.8.2 (c:\python27\lib\site-packages\simplejson-3.8.2-py2.7-win32.egg), six 1.10.0 (c:\python27\lib\site-packages\six-1.10.0-py2.7.egg), rsa 3.4.2 (c:\python27\lib\site-packages\rsa-3.4.2-py2.7.egg), pyasn1-modules 0.0.8 (c:\python27\lib\site-packages\pyasn1_modules-0.0.8-py2.7.egg), pyasn1 0.1.9 (c:\python27\lib\site-packages\pyasn1-0.1.9-py2.7.egg)] >>> from apiclient.discovery import build >>> 

Answer 11

It only worked with me when I used sudo:

 sudo pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client 

Answer 12

I got the same error while working on a project to analyze the latest calendar events from Google Calendar.

Using a standard installation using pip did not help me, here is what I did to get the packages I needed.

Go directly to the source, here is the link for google-api-python-client , but if you need another language, it should not be too different.

https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client

Click the green "Clone or Download" button in the upper left corner and save it as a zip file. Move the zip to the project folder and extract it there. Then cut all the files from the folder that it creates into the root folder of your project.

Yes, it clutters your workspace, but many compilers have ways to hide files.

After that standard

 from googleapiclient import discovery 

works great.

Hope this helps.
