ImportError: No module named 'google'

Python Problem Overview

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.}

Python Solutions

Solution 1 - Python

According to https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client#installation, you need to install the google-api-python-client package:

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

Solution 2 - Python

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

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

Solution 3 - Python

I could fix it by installing the following directly.

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

Solution 4 - Python

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

pip install protobuf
pip install google-cloud-translate

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

Solution 5 - Python

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.

Solution 6 - Python

I solved the problem in this way:

sudo pip install conda
pip install google

The error got resolved.

Solution 7 - Python

I got this from cloud service documentation:

pip install --upgrade google-cloud-translate

It worked for me!

Solution 8 - Python

Kindly executing these commands,

pip install google
pip install google-api-core

will definitely solve your problem.

Solution 9 - Python

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

Solution 10 - Python

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.

Solution 11 - Python

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!

Solution 12 - Python

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

Solution 13 - Python

For Python-Flask application.

If nothing helps,

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

It should be working fine now.

Solution 14 - Python

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

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

Solution 15 - Python

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
