I have deployed a python code in Google App Engine.In my code,tried to import firebase_admin,but it shows following error,

import firebase_admin
ImportError: No module named firebase_admin

hello.py

import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials
from firebase_admin import db

I tried simple python code using Terminal: hello.py

import firebase_admin
print firebase_admin

Output in terminal:

~/Desktop$ python hello.py
<module 'firebase_admin' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/firebase_admin/__init__.pyc'>

I was trying to connect cloud firestore through python-admin-sdk using Visual Studio Code which gave me same error

Working environment:

  1. Ubuntu 20.04
  2. Python 3.8.5
  3. firebase-admin 5.0.0
  4. Visual Studio Code

Resolution by re-installing PyLance extension in Visual Studio Code.

After unsuccessfully trying all incarnations of pip to install firebase_admin, what worked for me was adding firebase_admin in the requirements.txt file then run pip install -r requirements.txt

For some reason beyond my understanding, firebase_admin appears to work when installed by referencing the requirements.txt file but not when running pip directly.

Had the same issue here! Solved it by updating from python 3.7.9 to 3.9.13 All good now!!!

update your

to the latest version . this will solve the issue . if nit rename

firebase.py

to some other name... Its working

just not use

firebase.py

as a name for your project and it will work
