ImportError: cannot import name SignedJwtAssertionCredentials about backup-to-google-drive HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for the wonderful code @bachvtuan. I ran into the same error and tried using ServiceAccountCredentials to replace the SignedJwtAssertionCredentials. However, I got another global name 'self' error. Then, I reverted to the original script from @bachvtuan, did pip install oauth2client==1.5.2 as suggested by @budiwijaya and finally did pip install pyopenssl and problem SOLVED!

Hi make sure you installed

easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client

If it's fail, you can try install this package

easy_install --upgrade oauth2client

from backup-to-google-drive.

didn't fix the problem.

and following this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14063124/importerror-cannot-import-name-signedjwtassertioncredentials

when I do: pip install pycrypto
I get this error:

Command "/usr/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-0tdN9M/pycrypto/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-aa_Afz-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-0tdN9M/pycrypto/

You may need install dependency package if you're using Ubuntu, Debian.

apt-get install python-dev

When done, You may need to install

pip install pycrypto
pip install pyOpenSSL==0.12

from backup-to-google-drive.

Google deprecated the SignedJwtAssertionCredentials class in favor of the ServiceAccountCredentials class

• p12 work flow

from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials

client_email = '[email protected]'
scopes = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/sqlservice.admin']

credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_p12_keyfile(
    client_email, '/path/to/keyfile.p12', scopes=scopes)

• Json workflow

from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials

scopes = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/sqlservice.admin']

credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(
    '/path/to/keyfile.json', scopes=scopes)
