Can not import module search from google module in python

I installed the google module by Mario Vilas in my virtual environment in ubuntu 14.04 with python2.7 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/google I have done this before in both windows and Ubuntu and it worked fine. However, now when I do the following

>>> from google import search
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name search

I am using pycharm and I can view the package and its modules and I can auto insert using ctrl+space

I tried giving total privileges to the virtual venv package using sudo chmod -R ugo+rX but to no avail

It is tested and verified.

"from google import search" is giving error as there is no module with the name "google".After "pip install google" i checked the path to find out out the module in lib, but i was not able to find. I checked and found a module with "googlesearch". By doing the below change in my code i was able to solve the issue

OLD : "from google import search" NEW : "from googlesearch import search"

I have gone through the same problem and i solve it by importing googlesearch API like this: from googlesearch import *

Your installation of Python came with a built-in module named google which is taking precedence over the one you installed. You have two options:

  1. Remove the built-in module.

  2. Use importlib to import the desired module by its filesystem path:

    google = importlib.import_module('/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/google/__init__.py')
