I had the same issue but my solution was to run pip in a virtual environment for the correct Python version, in my case it was 2.7.

virtualenv --python=python2.7 .venv27
source .venv27/bin/activate
pip2.7 install -r requirements.txt -t lib

When installing google-api-python-client, the following is recommended:

pip install -t lib google-api-python-client

If this command is used in an enviornment running python 3, the lib installed copy will fail.
Better to explicily state pip2:

pip2 install -t lib google-api-python-client
