Google Python API tries to import the deprecated oauth2client.contrib.multistore_file

Question

I am trying to build the discovery docs for my endpoints application, but I am getting the following error:

pc@pc:~/backend$ endpointscfg.py get_discovery_doc [PROJECT_NAME]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pc/Downloads/google-cloud-sdk/bin/endpointscfg.py", line 10, in <module>
    import bootstrapping.bootstrapping as bootstrapping
  File "/home/pc/Downloads/google-cloud-sdk/bin/bootstrapping/bootstrapping.py", line 22, in <module>
    from googlecloudsdk.core.credentials import store as c_store
  File "/home/pc/Downloads/google-cloud-sdk/lib/googlecloudsdk/core/credentials/store.py", line 30, in <module>
    from googlecloudsdk.core.credentials import creds
  File "/home/pc/Downloads/google-cloud-sdk/lib/googlecloudsdk/core/credentials/creds.py", line 32, in <module>
    from oauth2client.contrib import multistore_file
ImportError: cannot import name multistore_file

The version of oauth2client is 4.1.0. It seems the file oauth2client.contrib.multistore_file was deprecated and then removed from oauth2client (https://github.com/google/oauth2client/pull/589), so I assumed my google client libraries were out of date, but I have run gcloud components update app-engine-python and I still get the same error.

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm afraid the solution is that you have to use an older version of oauth2client. If you ensure you have the latest (1.1.2) version of google-endpoints-api-management, then you will want to install google-apitools version 0.5.11 and oauth2client version 3.0.0.
