ImportError: No module named oauth2client.client in Gcloud

Question

I wanted to deploy my app engine to use machine learning engine in Gcloud with the following code: https://github.com/novinfard/temp

I encountered a strange error as follows:

ImportError: No module named oauth2client.client

However this library have already installed in app engine, as the following upgrade command return that everything is updated:

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

I applied the 'vendor' solutions as described here as well: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44011777/3477974

But this does not work either.

How this problem can be solved?

`pip install -t lib ...` (from your app dir, where the app's `lib` directory exists) not `pip install ...` (and you don't need sudo for that) — Dan Cornilescu, Aug 18 '18 at 18:00
by "from your app dir", you mean on gcloud on server, like active shell? — Soheil Novinfard, Aug 18 '18 at 18:10

As of version 1.7.0 of google-api-python-client the hard requirement for oauth2client has been dropped. I.e. it will not be included when installing the google-api-python-client.

You can fix this by manually installing oauth2client in your vendor folder.

$ pip install -t <vendor_folder> oauth2client

This release drops the hard requirement on oauth2client and installs google-auth by default instead. oauth2client is still supported but will need to be explicitly installed.
