It is giving me below error while importing it from dir-name

ImportError: No module named google.cloud

google package with all the sub package is present over there but without __init__.py in every sub packages as well.

I also have the same error - creating dedicated virtual environment helped. – Dichasium

pip install --upgrade google-cloud-speech and from __future__ import absolute_import worked for me. Thanks. – Quittor

for me it was absolute impor - pip install google-cloud-dialogflow – Laniferous

Answer 1

The instructions on the "Cloud Speech API Client Libraries" documentation page are now valid and the install is successful, as desired.

I installed the library for Python on my Debian machine using the command:

pip install --upgrade google-cloud-speech

Right answer. You need to tweak the command to install other google-cloud package. For example for me it was pip install google-cloud-storage – Iniquitous

use this:

pip install google-cloud-bigquery

and if running in a notebook, restart kernel and reimport – Henrion

Answer 3

I used sudo python -m pip install google-cloud instead and it worked.

The specific libraries seem to need to be specified now. "google-cloud-*" – Amethist

Answer 4

"No module named google.cloud" you need a python environment for google cloud.

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate
<your-env>/bin/pip install <google-cloud>

<google-cloud> replace this with required library. e.g: google-cloud-vision or google-cloud-storage, etc

<your-env> is a folder name, which is going to be store all python environment related things inside your project.

It is not mandatory to use a python environment for Google Cloud. – Neva

Answer 5

After many hours with the same problem, I discovered the solution: Import the library "get_messages" before importing something from "google.cloud". This worked in Python 3:

from google.api_core.protobuf_helpers import get_messages
from google.cloud import speech

Lebkuchen

this solved google.cloud, but now I ger "No module named 'google.api_core'" – Morman

Answer 6

The google.cloud is deprecated post June 18, you should install specific extension of your package

pip install google-cloud-{x}

Use

Try this:

$ git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python
$ cd google-cloud-python/speech
$ python setup.py install

According to Ref.

Answer 8

After you install google-api-python-client, you have to specify what exact google cloud product you want to install.

So for pubsub it is:

$pip3 install --upgrade google-cloud-pubsub

Answer 9

I struggled with the same problem recently. 2 things solved it for me:

Installing the following packages

google-api-core==1.22.1 
google-auth==1.20.1
google-cloud-texttospeech==2.2.0
googleapis-common-protos==1.52.0
graphviz==0.13.2
greenlet==0.4.16
grpcio==1.31.0
gTTS==2.1.1
gTTS-token==1.1.3

If this doesn't work, try switching to Python 3.7

I resolved this issue by using python3 on the command line (3.7.3) – Moorhead

Answer 10

I ran into the same problem just recently. My error was caused because I hadn't enabled the Cloud Speech-to-Text API. I was able to do that in cloud console and the error was resolved.

None of the installs mentioned here helped me. Then I did the following and it worked:

pip install google-cloud-logging

Answer 14

This problem disappeared for me when I used a virtual env. My fix looks like this:

-#!/usr/bin/python3
+#!/usr/bin/env python3

FYI I'm using Python 3.8.3 on a MacBook. I didn't see this error with the same code on Ubuntu.

Answer 16

For future seekers, in my case i was using a folder named google. So this was conflicting with the lib. For this case, you just need to change the folder's name (i.e.: googlelib)

#from
from google import blabla # this "google" is from your folder

#to
from googlelib import blabla
