This is probably a little redundant and old question, but the ClientCredential should be imported from runtime.auth.client_credential instead of sharepoint.client_context.

i.e., the below works fine:

from office365.runtime.auth.client_credential import ClientCredential

Import error: cannot import name 'ClientCredential' from 'office365.sharepoint.client_context'
