Google API v4 for Python KeyError: '_module'

I'm not really a developer, but I need to engineer tools often.

Having trouble trying to set up Google API v4 for Python:

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/python

Followed all instructions.

When executing the quickstart.py:

# python quickstart.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "quickstart.py", line 7, in <module>
    from oauth2client import file, client, tools
ImportError: No module named oauth2client

To fix I installed oauth2client:

# pip install oauth2client
Collecting oauth2client

You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 10.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Ran into another error:

# python quickstart.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "quickstart.py", line 12, in <module>
    creds = store.get()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/client.py", line 407, in get
    return self.locked_get()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/file.py", line 54, in locked_get
    credentials = client.Credentials.new_from_json(content)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/client.py", line 302, in new_from_json
    module_name = data['_module']
KeyError: '_module'

Kind of stuck at this point, any suggestions?

Just using a pretty standard setup, fresh install:

# cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) 
# python --version
Python 2.7.5

This happened to me too. You have to rename the credentials.json file to client_secret.json. After making this change it worked for me.
