I get an error when importing google.cloud.bigquery on GCE. It did not happen in an environment that is not GCE. I executed update with pip.

Do you know why?

user1@sv1:~$ python

>>> from google.cloud import bigquery

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/user1/miniconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/google/cloud/bigquery/__init__.py", line 34, in <module>

import google.cloud._helpers

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google.cloud._helpers'

11/11/2018 add Thank you for answering. It did not work since creating a new python using pyenv ,I think my server is something wrong. I reset the server and try again.

In June 2018, Google deprecated the google.cloud Python package. You need to directly use the BigQuery module directly by using pip install --upgrade google-cloud-bigquery, not pip install --upgrade google-cloud.

Where are you running this script exactly? Have you tried setting up a virtualenv and running it there? It all seems probably related to te Python version or conflicting packages.

For example, running the same from the Cloud Shell works without problem (no need to install any libraries nor use virtualenv in that one for this):

$ python
