python apiclient installation

[Liran Cohen]

Hi,

I'm using a mac. I tried installing the apiclient with both pip and easy_install but when i try to import the module in python console I get this error:

>>> import apiclient

usage: [-h] -u U

: error: argument -u is required

and the python console terminates.

Has anyone came across this problem?

I'd appreciate any kind of help..

Thanks,

Liran.

Do you happen to know what version of google-api-python-client you are using? How certain are you that you're using google-api-python-client and not an unrelated library by the name of "apiclient"?

Hi Nathaniel,

Thanks for responding.

I've installed the module this way:

$ sudo pip install google-api-python-client

Though I'm not quite sure I'm using the google-api-python-client when I try to "import apiclient" - How can I validate it?

Thanks,

Liran.

It looks like some module is missing/conflicts.

I've installed it to python3 and it works alright.

How can I fix it to work with python 2.7 as well?

Thanks.
