Google Cloud Natural Language Import Error

Question

I am having a lot of trouble with getting the Google Cloud Natural Language API running. I am trying to run a Python program in Linux on a Google VM. I am also unsure of how to run a full Traceback of the error. The following code is not working:

from google.cloud import language from google.cloud.language import enums from google.cloud.language import types.

On Python 2 I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "natlangex.py", line 3, in <module> from google.cloud.language import enums ImportError: cannot import name enums

I tried upgrading to Python 3 and when I run Python 3 I get the error: And I updated to Python 3. One thing that is confusing is that when I run Python 3 the error is a bit different:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "natlangex.py", line 2, in <module> from google.cloud import language ImportError: No module named 'google'

Here are the other things I have tried:

• I installed the SDK.
• I set export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="apikey.json".
• I tried !pip install google-cloud-language
• I upgraded pip pip install --upgrade setuptools pip.

I am very lost! Thank you in advance.

It seems that you are using wrong syntax because of the library update, you may refer now to the new one, following [1] and more specifically [2].

It seems that the official Natural Language documentation of Google Cloud is not updated yet [3], but at the end of this documentation you have links to the Python Client Library [1][2] where it explains the changes.

Your imports should be:

from google.cloud import language_v1
from google.cloud.language_v1 import enums
from google.cloud.language_v1 import types
