ImportError: cannot import name 'types' from 'google.cloud.vision' though I have google cloud vision installed

I have installed google-cloud-vision library following the documentation. It is for some reason unable to import types from google.cloud.vision. It worked fine on my pc, now when I shared with my client, he had a problem with imports though he has the library installed via pip. Here's the line that throws error:

from google.cloud import vision
from google.cloud.vision import types # this line throws error

Any idea how to resolve this issue?

Types module has been removed from google.cloud.vision from 2.0.0. You can access all the types from vision.

https://googleapis.dev/python/vision/latest/UPGRADING.html#enums-and-types

Before:

from google.cloud import vision_v1

likelihood = vision_v1.enums.Likelihood.UNKNOWN
request = vision_v1.types.GetProductSetRequest(name="name")

After:

from google.cloud import vision_v1

likelihood = vision_v1.Likelihood.UNKNOWN
request = vision_v1.GetProductSetRequest(name="name")

Use from google.cloud.vision_v1 import types instead of from google.cloud.vision import types.I have get this by exploring the init.py file and it works.

It's probably because there's some version mismatch (or less likely there's other library(s) with the same name). Have your client use a virtual environment. This should resolve the issue.

P.S. You'll have to provide him with a requirements.txt file (obtained from pip3 freeze) so that he can do a pip3 install -r requirements.txt on his virtual environment to have the exact same packages as yours.
