Google-cloud-python: google-cloud-speech pip install not working

[puneith]

pip is unable to find google-cloud-speech

$ pip install --upgrade google-cloud-speech
Collecting google-cloud-speech
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement google-cloud-speech (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for google-cloud-speech

Same is true when I try to install google-cloud

$ python -c "from google.cloud import speech"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ImportError: cannot import name speech

@puneith We have not yet released a version of speech yet nor is it yet included in the umbrella google-cloud package (notice it is not listed on https://pypi.python.org/pypi/google-cloud/0.20.0). @daspecster may have more to say there?

[daspecster]

@puneith I've been working on adding the stream_recognize() method and implementing GRPC support for sync_recognize() and async_recognize() before it's fully released.

You could play with speech by installing the library from source. If you have any questions just let me know!

Thanks @dhermes!

@dhermes In the docs there is a Speech API section which does say you can use:

>>> from google.cloud import speech
>>> client = speech.Client()

However I get the same error as puneith. @daspecster do you know how soon Speech will be implemented in google-cloud-python? Thanks :-)

[dhermes]

@gw00207 It's alread (partially) "implemented in google-cloud-python". You can install from source and play with the current implementation:

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

[daspecster]

@gw00207, we have a list of things to do for speech before we release. You can follow along on #2522.

Can we please remove this from the docs until #2522 is done or put a loud note to this effect? I just spent time:

• trying to figure out why the import in the docs was failing
• realizing that I needed to install a special package
• learning that that package was failing to install
• finding my way here after googling.

A simple notice would have prevented all this.
