Anybody able to get credentials in GAE standard Python37 ?

The App Engine APIs are not available

When using App Engine Standard with python 3.7, none of the google.xxx libraries are available. You have to build your own, or use standard Python libraries. This goes for: auth, users, images, search, mail, taskqueue, memcache, urlfetch, deferred, etc., and even the ndb datastore interface.

For datastore, you use google-cloud-datastore or some 3rd party.

For others, you use a standard Python library, e.g.: google.auth => rauth, google.appengine.api.memcache => python-memcached

That page recommends Google Identity Platform or Firebase Authentication to do authorization.
