Google-api-python-client: cannot import name 'ServiceAccountCredentials' from 'oauth2client.service_account'

[ebrahimamini1370]

I want to use the library googleanalytics in my python file, but the code would encounter the following error.
cannot import name 'ServiceAccountCredentials' from 'oauth2client.service_account'
My command is :
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
I have been searching much in different cites and installed all the related library, but it didn't work.
My python version is 3.7.2

Did you solve this? I'm experiencing the same issue.

Hello,

oauth2client was deprecated last year. We recommend that you use google-auth.

I'm not able to reproduce this with a clean virtualenv in 2.7 or 3.7.

Could you verify that oauth2client is installed? Are you able to import oauth2client?

Hello guys, found out something in one tutorial. Instead of using this:

import httplib2
import apiclient.discovery
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials

credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(json_key_filename, SCOPES)
httpAuth = credentials.authorize(httplib2.Http())
service = apiclient.discovery.build('sheets', 'v4', http = httpAuth)

You should use this:

from google.oauth2.service_account import Credentials
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

credentials = Credentials.from_service_account_file(json_key_filename, scopes=SCOPES)
service = build('sheets', 'v4', credentials=credentials)

Seems to work okay for python 3.4

You should reference the second code snippet @Lamroy95 posted and use google-auth rather than oauth2client. Closing as the original issue has been resolved. Please do open a new issue if you have more questions.
