How to import google-api-python-client in web2py?

[Peter Weicher]

Hello, 

I am trying to use web2py to build an application that requests data from various google APIs.

Using my local install of Python 3 or Python 2, I am able to import the necessary modules and query the api. 

I have tried the following, restarting the webserver between each action:

1) copying google-api-python-client modules into C:\web2py\web2py\site-packages

• This does not work, I get <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> 'module' object has no attribute 'DEFAULT_MAX_REDIRECTS'
• package httplib2 definitely has a value called 'DEFAULT_MAX_REDIRECTS'
  
• see Traceback #1

2) delete files and then cmd: python -m pip install --target= google-api-python-client

• same result as first action
• see Traceback #1

3) Copy or pip files to C:\web2py\web2py\applications\ping\modules

• This does not work either, I get error: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'> cannot import name discovery
• See Traceback #2

Has anyone successfully imported google-api-python-client into a web2py local instance?

Is there a setup step I am missing?

Full list of modules I am talking about is below, and the google instructions are here: https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/start/installation

Thank you!

Peter
