-- Communications with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills may be automatically logged, monitored and/or recorded for legal purposes. -- I'm also a relatively new python coder (little over a year), but it seems plain to me that "The Application Default Credentials ... are available if running in Google Compute Engine. Otherwise, the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS must be defined pointing to a file defining the credentials. See https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credenti als for more information." If you're not running in Google Compute Engine, you need to make a file defining the credentials, and supposedly there are instructions or requirements in the link above. Looks like Anaconda tried to get the credentials by calling its _auth.default_credentials() function: credentials = _auth.default_credentials() from "python3.5/site-packages/googleapiclient/discovery.py", but it failed. I think you need to read that link and make the file it wants to find. Deborah -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
