ModuleNotFoundError... No Module named Google

Question

I'm trying to link my Google App to cloud storage so I can upload and store images. It worked just fine locally.

Now I'm getting this error: (showrooom is the name of my app, and create is the page containing the upload form)

ModuleNotFoundError at /showroom/create/
No module named 'google'

Following the documentation and previous answers, I used PIP to install google-cloud, google-cloud-vision, and google-cloud-storage.

Running pip now shows that google-cloud is installed in my Virtual Environment.

(torque) C:\code\torque>pip install google-cloud
Requirement already satisfied: google-cloud in c:\users\user\envs\torque\lib\site-packages (0.34.0)```

But checking in Python (still within the directory and virtualenv), it returns none:

>>> import google
>>> print(google.__file__)
None

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

There are a lot of interesting errors, so I'll post the full traceback (torque is the name of my app).

Exception Type: ModuleNotFoundError at /showroom/create/
Exception Value: No module named 'google'

Update

Shane below gave me the idea of updating the requirements.txt (refreezing the file). Now the error reads:

ModuleNotFoundError at /showroom/create/
No module named 'google.storage'

...

**/srv/showroom/views.py in form_valid
                images.save**

Answer 1

Run your command with sudo privilege. It worked for me.

Answer 2

No module named 'google.storage'

Error message indicates that the python env on which you are executing your application was not able to find the "google.storage" module (pretty straight forward). But this can be caused by several things, but the most probable is:

1.- You don't have the module installed (if your default Python env is Python 2, when you do "pip install" it install the package on Python 2 env).

note: you can check your default Python env by just running "python" command and checking which version initializes.

2.- If you are using virtualenv (like is advised) is also possible that the path to the module has not been exported properly.

Some troubleshooting advises:

• first check that the python env on which you are executing the application has the path to "google" module (import only the google part and see if it finds it).

• If it find the module, you can print the path to it and check if you actually have the storage module installed. Example:

  import google
  print(google.__file__) 
  

• If you have the storage module then it would confirm that the path is not properly exported.

Answer 3

You need to run pip3 install (package name) in order for it to work with Python 3

Answer 4

Have you instead done pip install google-cloud-storage?

That's from the docs here: https://cloud.google.com/python/setup#installing_and_using_virtualenv

And when I run that, it installs extra dependencies. Just google-cloud does not install these extra dependencies, which I presume will include the google module
