ImportError: No module named 'google'

I installed Python 3.5. I ran the pip install google command and verified the modules. Google was present.

I installed Anaconda 3.5 and tried to run z sample code. But I'm getting the import error. Please find the screen shot attached. What am I missing? Do I have to link my Spyder to Python installation directory in some way? Why is Spyder unable to google module?

My Python installation directory: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35

_{My scenario is a bit different and I could not find a solution from similar posts here.}

According to , you need to install the google-api-python-client package:

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

Use this both installation and then go ahead with your Python code:

pip install google-cloud pip install google-cloud-vision 

I could fix it by installing the following directly.

pip install google.cloud.bigquery pip install google.cloud.storage 

I faced the same issue, and I was trying to import translate from google.cloud, but I kept getting the same error.

This is what I did

1. pip install protobuf
2. pip install google-cloud-translate

And to install the storage service from google google-cloud-storage, it should be installed separately.

Ref -

I figured out the solution:

• I had to delete my Anaconda and Python installations
• Re-install Anaconda only
• Open the Anaconda prompt and point it to Anaconda/Scripts
• Run pip install google
• Run the sample code now from Spyder.

No more errors.

I solved the problem in this way:

1. sudo pip install conda
2. pip install google

The error got resolved.

I got this from cloud service documentation:

pip install --upgrade google-cloud-translate 

It worked for me!

Kindly executing these commands,

pip install google pip install google-api-core 

will definitely solve your problem.

I found a similar error when I tried to access the bigquery from google.cloud.

from google.cloud import bigquery 

The error was resolved after I installed the google.cloud from conda-forge community.

conda install -c conda-forge google-cloud-bigquery 

I had a similar import problem. I noticed that there was no __init__.py file in the root of the google package. So, I created an empty __init__.py and now the import works.

What solved it for me was uninstalling Anaconda (in my case, Spyder), install the required google clients (google-api-python-client will do), then reinstall Anaconda.

This should solve it!

I know its frustrating to make it done. Its not hit and try to be honest.

first step to setup google apis

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

second- look and read your DAG and see what is source/destination or other GCP platform you are using such as if you are taking data from bigquery then

pip install bigquery or pip install xyz-google-stuff 

For Python-Flask application.

If nothing helps,

1. Uninstall flask (pip uninstall flask)
2. Uninstall python from your machine
3. Restart the machine and make sure uninstall is done properly
4. Re-install python and flask again
5. Run pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client
6. Run your application

It should be working fine now.

1. Close Anaconda/Spyder
2. Open command prompt and run the below command
3. conda update --all
4. Start the app again and this time it should work.

Note - You need not have to uninstall/reinstall anything.

Kindly executing these commands

If you are using the python2 version:

• pip install google
• pip install google-api-core

If you are using the python3 version:

• pip3 install google
• pip3 install google-api-core

will definitely solve your problem.
