Google Calendar API FileNotFoundError:

I am trying to create events for Google Calendar but am getting a FileNotFoundError for 'client_secret.json'. 

from __future__ import print_function
from apiclient.discovery import build
from httplib2 import Http
from oauth2client import file, client, tools

try:
    import argparse
    flags = argparse.ArgumentParser(parents=[tools.argparser]).parse_args()
except ImportError:
    flags = None

SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'
store = file.Storage('storage.json')
creds = store.get()
if not creds or creds.invalid:
    flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets('client_secret.json', SCOPES)
    creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store, flags) \
            if flags else tools.run(flow, store)
CAL = build('calendar', 'v3', http=creds.authorize(Http()))

GMT_OFF = '-07:00'      # PDT/MST/GMT-7
EVENT = {
    'summary': 'Dinner with friends',
    'start':  {'dateTime': '2015-09-15T19:00:00%s' % GMT_OFF},
    'end':    {'dateTime': '2015-09-15T22:00:00%s' % GMT_OFF},
    'attendees': [
        {'email': '[email protected]'},
        {'email': '[email protected]'},
    ],
}

e = CAL.events().insert(calendarId='primary',
        sendNotifications=True, body=EVENT).execute()

print('''*** %r event added:
    Start: %s
    End:   %s''' % (e['summary'].encode('utf-8'),
        e['start']['dateTime'], e['end']['dateTime']))

Here is the error:

Warning (from warnings module): File "C:\Users\bakat\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\oauth2client_helpers.py", line 255 warnings.warn(_MISSING_FILE_MESSAGE.format(filename)) UserWarning: Cannot access storage.json: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\bakat\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\oauth2client\clientsecrets.py", line 121, in _loadfile with open(filename, 'r') as fp: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'client_secret.json'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I found the problem - you must go to https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/python and follow the instructions to download your client_secrets.json.
