please update your docs on setting up google oauth

[marcmaxson]

it says that PyOpenSSL may be required, but I find that with python 2x it is absolutely required. The error message you get back does not make the source of the problem clear:

from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredentials
returns ImportError: cannot import name SignedJwtAssertionCredentials

looking on stackoverflow, I found:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14063124/importerror-cannot-import-name-signedjwtassertioncredentials

that oauth2client depends on PyOpenSSL but doesn't tell the user it does, so best to let people know in your otherwise exquisite documentation what this error message means.

Libraries oauth2client.client

if HAS_OPENSSL:
  # PyOpenSSL is not a prerequisite for oauth2client, so if it is missing then
  # don't create the SignedJwtAssertionCredentials or the verify_id_token()
  # method.

thanks!

SignedJwtAssertionCredentials was removed here
Example code using ServiceAccountCredentials:

import webapp2
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
import gspread

SCOPES = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds']

class GssHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    """ replaces the SignedJwtAssertionCredentials """

    def get(self):

        credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('voscausa-sa-test.json', SCOPES)
        gss_client = gspread.authorize(credentials)
        gss = gss_client.open('test-gspread')
        worksheet = gss.sheet1
        self.response.write(worksheet.acell('A1').value)

To make in work in the appengine dev_server I installed:

• httplib2 0.9.2
• gspread 0.3.0
• oauth2client 1.5.2
• requests 2.3.0
• pyasn1 0.1.9
• payasn1-modules 0.0.8
• rsa 3.3
• six.py 1.10.0

Please see my correction to their documentation here. This will solve your problem.

@marcmaxson since SignedJwtAssertionCredentials was removed is the issue still relevant?

[burnash]

@marcmaxson sorry I overlooked, it wasn't actually removed.

Fixed in #356
