python - Google API : AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'

Question

This is my code :

from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
from apiclient import discovery
from httplib2 import Http

key_path = os.environ["GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS"]

# define scope
SCOPE = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds',
        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']

# define store
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(key_path, SCOPE)

# define API service
http = credentials.authorize(Http())
drive = discovery.build('drive', 'v3', http=http) # ERROR HERE

I'm hitting error at drive with error message :

AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'

I'm using Python 3.8. Please help. I can upload error message if needed.

Answer 1

Please check this answer AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock' in Python 3.8

I think the easiest solution would be to downgrade your python to python 3.7.
