Please copy / paste your code here. Because first, maybe you don't really done the same thing, second: Nobody likes to follow links, finally: If this link gone down SO will keep code. — Arount

Also post your platform you are developing on, as OSX's built in python has some issues with crypto working with google-api-python-client. something to do with the six module. — Matt
Thanx for the reply..I am using exactly the same in ubuntu os havin 2.7 python.developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/…. only changing the service_account_email = '[email protected]' and key_file_location = 'client_secrets.json'.I am unable to paste the whole code.some word restriction is showing for me — Vivek

It appears you selected to download the json file not the p12. The v3 example is a little bit out dated, Analytics Reporting API V4 is more up to date. but you code can easily be adjusted for .json file by replacing:

credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_p12_keyfile(
    service_account_email, key_file_location, scopes=scope)

with this

credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(
    KEY_FILE_LOCATION, SCOPES)
