The code works fine on my local machine (win10).
Not sure if it is about package dependency or something else.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm facing the same problem.

I've been developing a script for my company and today I also get that error. Yesterday it worked perfectly.

Mine is latest version: 1.12.2
Python3: 3.8.2

The error doesn't happen with version 1.12.1 (tried it using pipenv).

Hi, as said, in the other ticket, did you try to upgrade to the last version of httplib2 as well?
close() attribute belongs to http object from httplib2 library.
Maybe it was not existing in the version of the library you are currently using?

Hi, I just want to add that I've just updated from python3.7 to python3.8 a few moments ago and a script I had stopped working for the newer version.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04, let me know if you need more info

Edit: Forgot to add, I've run pip3 install httplib2 and it was already satisfied with version 0.14.0

@frankShih

Having a look at httplib2 changelog, close() method appeared in v0.15.0

According your error report, you have version 0.12.0.

Please, upgrade 1st, then retry and report.
Thanks
