Google Sheet Api write error

Question

I can't write data to google sheets via python. I did everything like in Google Sheets Api example but it still doesn't work. This is my project:

from __future__ import print_function
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from httplib2 import Http
from oauth2client import file as oauth_file, client, tools

SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets','https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file']

SAMPLE_SPREADSHEET_ID = 'ID'
SAMPLE_RANGE = 'Sheet2!A1:A10'

def main():
    store = oauth_file.Storage('token.json')
creds = store.get()
if not creds or creds.invalid:
    flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets('credentials.json', SCOPES)
    creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store)

service = build('sheets', 'v4', http=creds.authorize(Http()))

values = {'values': [['one','two','three']]}
result = service.spreadsheets().values().append(
    spreadsheetId=SAMPLE_SPREADSHEET_ID, range=SAMPLE_RANGE,
    valueInputOption='RAW',
    body=values).execute()
print('{0} cells updated.'.format(result.get('updatedCells')));

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

And it gives me this errors:

C:\Users\Victor\Anaconda3\python.exe "C:/Users/Victor/Desktop/NEW try/try1.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):

    body=values).execute()

    Process finished with exit code 1

I pin a screenshot that prooves that i have all the permisions in the api. Google API Thank you in advance.

From my understanding, exit code 1 "means there was some issue / problem which caused the program to exit." Trying to debug your code, it seems like your indentation is off. Everything between lines 11 and 25 should have at least one indent so it's considered to be apart of the main() function. Like so:

from __future__ import print_function
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from httplib2 import Http
from oauth2client import file as oauth_file, client, tools

SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets','https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file']

SAMPLE_SPREADSHEET_ID = 'ID'
SAMPLE_RANGE = 'Sheet2!A1:A10'

def main():
    store = oauth_file.Storage('token.json')
    creds = store.get()
    if not creds or creds.invalid:
        flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets('credentials.json', SCOPES)
        creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store)

    service = build('sheets', 'v4', http=creds.authorize(Http()))

    values = {'values': [['one','two','three']]}
    result = service.spreadsheets().values().append(
        spreadsheetId=SAMPLE_SPREADSHEET_ID, range=SAMPLE_RANGE,
        valueInputOption='RAW',
        body=values).execute()
    print('{0} cells updated.'.format(result.get('updatedCells')));

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Also, the Google Sheets API Quick Start for Python gets updated frequently, so I would try using the new code featured here. Let us know what happens after you fix the indentation or you decide to go with Google's updated code.
