ImportError: No module named 'google'

Viewed 288761

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.

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 - https://cloud.google.com/python/

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

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.

I too had the same error while trying vision API

    from google.cloud import vision
    import io
    client = vision.ImageAnnotatorClient()

got no module named 'google'

so I added a line

import google

in such a way,

import google
    from google.cloud import vision
    import io
    client = vision.ImageAnnotatorClient()

and it worked for me.:)

  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.
