Attribute error in "discovery.py" in quickstart example

[TopiKeittiot]

Hello,

While attempting to follow the quickstart guide for the Google calendar python API https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/python I run in to the following error. My code is currently identical to the one in the link.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Topi/PycharmProjects/Random/WebDataScrape/quickstart.py", line 39, in <module>
    main()
  File "C:/Users/Topi/PycharmProjects/Random/WebDataScrape/quickstart.py", line 22, in main
    service = build('calendar', 'v3', http=creds.authorize(Http()))
  File "C:\Users\Topi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\googleapiclient\_helpers.py", line 130, in positional_wrapper
    return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\Topi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\googleapiclient\discovery.py", line 218, in build
    requested_url = uritemplate.expand(discovery_url, params)
AttributeError: module 'uritemplate' has no attribute 'expand'

The authentication proceeds as expected by opening the browser and prompting me to allow the application. After this though the above error appears on every run.

• Python version 3.6.3
• Windows 10

Strange. The uritemplate module is a dependency of the library, and it hasn't changed in years:

https://pypi.org/project/uritemplate/

Can you try installing that module directly? Could there be some other module on your system with the same name?

Closing due to inactivity.

Howdy all,

I was able to resolve the issue. If you install version 3.0.2 of uritemplate the error goes away. I myself had version 3.0.0.

Not sure why but there are three different uritemplates on the https://pypi.python.org/simple feed and PyCharm will choose to install the one with 3.0.0.

@jippylong12 where did you find the version 3.0.2 of the uritemplate package? Even their official repo (https://github.com/python-hyper/uritemplate/releases) contains 3.0.0 only

I'm not sure how specifically to find it, I just know that if you go to the feed of pypi.python.org then you can see the different options. When using PyCharm you can go to Settings->Project Interpreter, click the plus icon, search for uritemplate and then you will find uritemplate.py which is the one you should install over uritemplate.
