Gmail API - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googleapiclient' - Python 3.7

Question

Using the Gmail API in Python 3.7 to retrieve emails and I'm testing the code in both Terminal and Pycharm, yet I cannot get past line 7:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import pickle
import os.path
import email
import base64
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request

I recieve the error message:

  from googleapiclient.discovery import build
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googleapiclient'

I understand there have been other similar questions regarding this same issue but none of the answers appear to help in this situation. Please see below for things I have tried and information which may help illicit a solution.

1) It appears that the packages are present and accounted for in the expected folders.

2) The project interpreters also appear to be correct:

3) Have tried reinstalling the module via PyCharm > Preferences

4) I have tried various pip commands including the following;

pip install google-api-python-client

pip install googleapiclient

pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client 

Just don't understand what the issue is or how to resolve so your guidance and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You dont have 'google-api-python-client'. You instead have 'google-api-python-client-py3'. The former has to be available in the list of libraries:

I have installed it with: pip install google-api-python-client

Also check if you are running the code with the same interpreter in which you installed google-api-python-client.
