ImportError: cannot import name 'tasks_v2' from 'google.cloud'

I'm trying to use the Google Cloud Tasks code sample provided in the GCP documentation here: https://cloud.google.com/tasks/docs/creating-http-target-tasks (see code below). However, it's unclear from the documentation which package I need for this to work. Any ideas?

However, I'm getting the following error.

ImportError: cannot import name 'tasks_v2' from 'google.cloud'

Code sample:

from google.cloud import tasks_v2
from google.protobuf import timestamp_pb2

# Create a client.
client = tasks_v2.CloudTasksClient()

# TODO(developer): Uncomment these lines and replace with your values.
# project = 'my-project-id'
# queue = 'my-appengine-queue'
# location = 'us-central1'
# payload = 'hello'

# Construct the fully qualified queue name.
parent = client.queue_path(project, location, queue)

# Construct the request body.
task = {
        'app_engine_http_request': {  # Specify the type of request.
            'http_method': 'POST',
            'relative_uri': '/example_task_handler'
        }
}
if payload is not None:
    # The API expects a payload of type bytes.
    converted_payload = payload.encode()

    # Add the payload to the request.
    task['app_engine_http_request']['body'] = converted_payload

if in_seconds is not None:
    # Convert "seconds from now" into an rfc3339 datetime string.
    d = datetime.datetime.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=in_seconds)

    # Create Timestamp protobuf.
    timestamp = timestamp_pb2.Timestamp()
    timestamp.FromDatetime(d)

    # Add the timestamp to the tasks.
    task['schedule_time'] = timestamp

# Use the client to build and send the task.
response = client.create_task(parent, task)

print('Created task {}'.format(response.name))
return response

When following any guide on the GCP docs, go the github repo and search for the requirements.txt file, here will be alll the dependencies used as well as the versions.

For the creating http task the requirements file would be this one.

It has

google-cloud-tasks==2.0.0

This is the exact dependency and version you are looking for

This worked for me:

pip3 install -U google-cloud-tasks

If you get any problems importing packages for other GCP services, this is a great resource: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python. The links point straight to the relevant package names on pypi.org.
