ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google_auth_oauthlib'

Question

I am trying to run the 'generate_refresh_token.py' file in the authentification folder of the AdWords API.

But when I do python generate_refresh_token.py as described in the documentation, I get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google_auth_oauthlib'.

So I try to install the module with pip install google-auth-oauthlib, and here is the output:

Requirement already satisfied: google-auth-oauthlib in /home/$USER/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages (0.2.0)

I activate my anaconda3 environment by doing source activate /home/$USER/anaconda3/envs/$environment_name. I try to generate the token again with the command above, same error.

Could not find any useful answer or anyone having the same issue with this module. Does anyone have a suggestion I could try?

UPDATE: I have found the error. When I installed the google-auth-oauthlib module via pip, it was installed as a module in the anaconda3 library. But when I run python from the command line, it uses the version from my system, which doesn't have this module.

I had the same issue. Was resolved by using:

sudo pip install google-auth-oauthlib

the sudo was necessary, not sure why, maybe someone else can eleborate.

Just an update. Don't use sudo with pip...bad practice there are a bunch of SO threads out there about why you shouldn't. Basically, best practice is to use pip --user – Tyler Tresslar Jan 18 '20 at 02:30

Check if it works with just ´pip install --user google-auth-oauthlib`. Do NOT use sudo with pip as you are almost certain to duck your python dist to smithereens. – Jakob Guldberg Aaes Jul 21 '20 at 06:48

If you use conda instead of pip:

conda install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib

This one worked like a charm. In my case conda was already installed, if anyone has it installed too, this method seemed to work better for me than the pip method. – Brookie_C Oct 15 '21 at 19:18

I was in a situation where installing using pip install google-auth-oauthlib worked, but I was still seeing ModuleNotFoundError you mention above.

I tried the approach of installing via sudo pip install google-auth-oauthlib. That didn't work, and I kept seeing ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._internal.cli.main.

If anyone else is in the same boat, I was able to successfully install using pip3 install google-auth-oauthlib (oddly enough, pip3 and pip both point to the same location for me: pip 21.2.4).
