How To Fix Attributeerror: 'module' Object Has No Attribute 'client' When Running Python In Google Cloud Interactive Shell

I'm trying to run a python script that simulates traffic sensors sending in data in real time to PubSub on my Google Cloud Shell. I'm getting this error Traceback (most recent cal

Solution 1:

The pubsub.Client class exists until the 0.27.0 version of the pubsub python package. So I just created a virtual environment and installed the 0.27.0 version of pubsub into it. Here are the commands:

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install google-cloud-pubsub==0.27.0

Solution 2:

Solution for Google Cloud Platforms is:

1. Modify the send_senor_data.py file as follows:

   a. Comment the original import statement for pub_sub and use _v1 version

     #from google.cloudimport pubsub
      from google.cloudimport pubsub_v1
   

   b. Find this code and replace it as follows:

   #publisher = pubsub.PublisherClient()publisher = pubsub_v1.PublisherClient()
   

   2. Then execute your send_sensor_data.py as follows:

      ./send_sensor_data.py --speedFactor=60 --project=YOUR-PROJECT-NAME

Solution 3:

There's no pubsub.Client class. You need to choose a PublisherClient or SubscriberClient
