ImportError: cannot import name discovery

Question

I am using Google's python API client, and one of the lines it wants you to use is:

from apiclient import discovery

When I run this it returns the error:

ImportError: cannot import name discovery

Note: the apiclient module is installed and up to date

Thanks guys

Answer 1

At some point apiclient module name was changed. If you cannot import discovery from apiclient, then try:

from googleapiclient import discovery

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

You should be able to get these dependencies with this simple install:

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