Tried every trick in the books, even in your past issues and any stack overflow answers to similar issues to no avail. :/

Not good! Did you install requirements?

[vintaclectic]

Yes, requirements were installed immediately after cloning and entering repo.

[vintaclectic]

json added to directory as client_secret.json too

[vintaclectic]

Actually, somehow got passed it and to point where google login screen popups up. I go to login to my account, nothing happens thereafter. I have 2-step auth, does that cause a problem here? In fact, when I enter email/password I'm not even receiving any text notification for a code as if its not even posting data properly. Any idea?

[stewartmcgown]

any problems that you're having with the actual Google authentication system might be better directed at the team themselves: https://github.com/googleapis/oauth2client

have you got any screenshots or additional program output to show?

[sirpilsofd]

Having a similar issue as stated in the original post.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "uds.py", line 3, in
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googleapiclient'
OS: Ubuntu 16.04
Using Python 3.6 and all of the requirements have been installed and the JSON has been added to the uds directory as 'client_secret.json

Not sure what to try next

[stewartmcgown]

does this fix

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

[vintaclectic]

No, the issue is that you are having a python program have to connect to a google account such that if someone, like myself, has two-factor authentication setup with their google account then it becomes impossible to sign in in order to use this program at all...have you ever tried signing into anything via cli where two-factor is required...haha, it's impossible unless you can somehow find a way for your browser to open login page then somehow take you back into the terminal...

[glotchimo]

@stewartmcgown oauth2client is deprecated (for many reasons, explained on that page). We should implement the new google-auth which would enable users to utilize the more secure API service accounts (and the auth files that come with) rather than the old OAuth2 single-token method.

How much under the hood tampering would be needed?

I just have the same error, is there any solution now?

[j0nasjuul]

I had this same issue. Switching python3 to be the default python version solved the problem.

I had this same issue. Switching python3 to be the default python version solved the problem.

Ensure you are using python3 not python2 as your default version
