Hi David,
Well, I really don't know the first thing about Macs, but it looks like
you got the download and environment variable right, at least it's not
complaining about that.
Looks like the current problem is with the parameters you're passing to
the build() function. I don't have the apiclient module installed, so I
can't look at it for myself, but here is the critical error:
build() takes at most 2 positional arguments (3 given)
This means that you've given too many parameters to build(). I'm a bit
confused because your youtube_search()code is calling build() with:
youtube = build(YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME, YOUTUBE_API_VERSION,
developerKey=DEVELOPER_KEY),
which is passing 3 arguments, and you're using
youtube = build(YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME,
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, YOUTUBE_API_VERSION,
developerKey=DEVELOPER_KEY),
which is passing 4 arguments. In either case the error you're getting is
complaining that build() only takes 2 arguments, so it's not matching up
with either youtube_search's code or your call to build().
It looks like you don't need the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
argument, but more serious than that is the build() that youtube_search
is calling only takes 2 arguments and the script is calling with 3
arguments. So the script is fundamentally flawed to begin with.
If you want to proceed with this script, you need to get a look at the
build() function to see what arguments it wants. You can try altering
the script to call build with only the arguments it will use, and try
that. But I suspect there are deeper problems, most likely that
apiclient.discovery version yo have insalled is either newer or older
than this youtube_search is expecting, in which case all bets are off on
making this combination work.
So you have 2 choices that I see, either getting a look at what the
build() you have installed uses and try youtube_search with that, or
looking for other versions of apiclient and getting a look at their
.discovery submodule build() functions. If you find a build() taking 3
arguments, you could try importing that version of apiclient.discovery
with this youtube_search.
But all in all, if I had this problem I'd back up to what I really want
to accomplish and try another approach to the problem. It may not be
worth all the futzing around to make this youtube_search work.

OK David,
I'm also a Linux newbie and my Linux PC has a dead power supply that
I've been too sick to fix. Since it is a choice (given my limited energy
resources), I've spent my time learning python on a very old Windows PC
instead of reviving the Linux PC, and I've never used Google Apps.
However, looking at the links provided, this is how I'd proceed:
1) At
https://developers.google.com/
<https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/application-default-cr
e> identity/protocols/application-default-cre
dentials (Google Application Default Credentials | Google Identity
Platform), are the insructions you need to follow.
Now, I think you make up your own path and filename for the environment
variable, the more iffy question is what file it shoud be.
And the answer appears to be that it's a file you download. It then
tells you to follow several instructions, using the
https://console.developers.
<https://console.developers.google.com/projectselector/apis/credentials>
google.com/projectselector/apis/credentials
page, to get a file that automatically downloads to your computer.
2) It then says you have to make the environment variable
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, specifying that it points to the file
you just downloaded.
I don't have a working Linux machine to test this on, at least it sounds
like you're using Linux (let me know if you're using Windows and I can
test it there), but to permanently set an environment variable in Linux:
Edit ~/.bashrc and add the line:
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=<path/filename>
(instructions are different for Windows, or Linux using something other
than bash for shell scripts)
That's what you need to do, and then your youtube_search.py should work
(haha, well you can try it and see).

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.
