'AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'file'' when using oauth2client with Google Calendar

Question

I'm using the example script for google calendars python api (https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/quickstart/python#step_3_set_up_the_sample) to try and print out all the calendar events. However I am getting an error of:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'file'

from the line

store = oauth2client.file.Storage(credential_path)

I can find no references to such an error in the docs. Has anyone else come across this before?

Cheers, Jack

Can you add more of your code? The problem may lie in lines of code before that section, namely from the instantiation of the oauth2client object or the credential_path argument. — ciacicode

In original sample

missing import entry:

   from oauth2client import file

add this line and try run your script again
