ImportError: No module named apiclient.discovery

You should be able to get these dependencies with this simple install:

sudo pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client

This is described on the quick start page for python.

apiclient was the original name of the library.
At some point, it was switched over to be googleapiclient.

If your code is running on Google App Engine, both should work.

If you are running the application yourself, with the google-api-python-client installed, both should work as well.

Although, if we take a look at the source code of the apiclient package's __init__.py module, we can see that the apiclient module was simply kept around for backwards-compatibility.

Retain apiclient as an alias for googleapiclient.

So, you really should be using googleapiclient in your code, since the apiclient alias was just maintained as to not break legacy code.

apiclient is not in the list of third party library supplied by the appengine runtime: http://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/libraries27 .

You need to copy apiclient into your project directory & you need to copy these uritemplate & httplib2 too.

Note: Any third party library that are not supplied in the documentation list must copy to your appengine project directory
