I am testing the Google Street View Publish API so I installed the library gapic-google-maps-streetview_publish-v1 and then I tried running the Python code example to upload a photo.

In the line:

from google.streetview.publish.v1 import street_view_publish_service_client as client

the code raises an error:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: google-gax

According to my package list, google-gax==0.15.16 is included in the installation of gapic-google-maps-streetview_publish-v1. I have tried updating to 0.16.0 but it doesn't work either.

Any hint to fix this?

EDIT:

pip freeze

  • Can you provide your pip commands? or requirements.txt file? How are you doing dependencies installation? – J.L Valtueña Jun 22 '18 at 11:26
  • @J.LValtueña question is edited with my `pip freeze`. I have created a virtualenv and just installed `gapic-google-maps-streetview_publish-v1` after a clean installation. Still raising the same error. – Finfa811 Jun 22 '18 at 13:12

I encountered this before and I used 

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate
<your-env>/bin/pip install gapic-google-maps-streetview_publish-v1

it's worth a try. Hope this helps

  • That is the solution I have tried from the beginning. I even did a clean uninstall/reinstall of Python 2.7.15 and the Google Cloud SDK and still getting the same issue... – Finfa811 Jun 22 '18 at 13:07
  • @Finfa811 I added my pip freeze below. We have the same one except for pyreadline (i don't have one). Also when I installed my python pip, i just used `sudo easy_install pip`. – droidBomb Jun 22 '18 at 14:19
  • `pyreadline`is a readline API on Windows, I don't think it makes any difference – Finfa811 Jun 22 '18 at 14:26
  • Are you able to work with the Street View Publish API then? – Finfa811 Jun 22 '18 at 15:45
  • @Finfa811 yes, I'm able to work on it. I don't understand why you're having errors. I too used the python code example. – droidBomb Jun 22 '18 at 17:23
  • I have found the solution. The Google App Engine was causing conflicts with the code because it includes a very old version of `setuptools` in the distribution. Just need to disable GAE support to make the test code work. I opened a new [issue](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python/issues/5527) in Github regarding the question. – Finfa811 Jun 22 '18 at 19:23

Seems like google-gax is deprecated (https://pypi.org/project/google-gax/) it has been wholly replaced by google-api-core (https://pypi.org/project/google-api-core/).

  • I see, but `google-gax` is automatically installed with the `gapic-google-maps-streetview_publish-v1` package. And it is called in `street_view_publish_service_client.py`, in the line `from google.gax import api_callable`. So if `google-gax` is deprecated, there is no way to use the Street View Publish API until a new version is deployed, isn't there? – Finfa811 Jun 22 '18 at 14:30
