google api - python install module apiclient

Question

New to python, and trying to install a module "apiclient" since my ide pycharm does not recognize that import:

from apiclient.discovery import build

what I tried:

1. pip install apiclient
2. download manually the package from

https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/start/installation#system-requirements then I extracted it into

/Users/nirregev/anaconda/bin/google-api-python-client-1.5.0

and ran this on my mac terminal python setup.py install but still pycharm does not recognize this module. According to pycharm I have the following interpreters installed:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/python3.5
/Users/nirregev/anaconda/bin/python
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7

Answer 1

Try this:

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

OR

Make sure you only have google-api-python-client installed. If you have apiclient installed, it will cause a collision. So, run the following:

pip install --force-reinstall google-api-python-client
