android - ImportError: No module named oauth2client

Question

I'm following instructions in the Google Sign-In for Android documentation (https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/backend-auth) and am trying to implement the token verification in my Python code.

I am developing on local host. For some reason, I am getting this error when I try this import from oauth2client import client, crypt into my Google App Engine backend, I get this error:

ImportError: No module named oauth2client.client`

I've installed oauth2 using sudo pip install --upgrade google-api-python (https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/start/installation). The installation log shows:

I see that someone has provided an answer, but I don't know how to do this symlink that is described here: the Google app engine(python) ImportError: No module named oauth2 in google app engine

I'm thinking this has something to do with the path, but I have no idea how to set it so that oauth2client is installed globally. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a VM.

Any help would be appreciated.
