Oauth2 credentials not working

See original GitHub issue

Today a deprecation warning prevent me from starting my script so after I follow this instructions but after running my script got this error

 File "main.py", line 12, in <module>
    credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials(json_key['client_email'],json_key['private_key'], scope)
  File "/home/oscar/.virtualenvs/google/lib/python3.4/site-packages/oauth2client/util.py", line 137, in positional_wrapper return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)

File "/home/oscar/.virtualenvs/google/lib/python3.4/site-packages/oauth2client/client.py", line 1458, in __init__
    _RequireCryptoOrDie()
  File "/home/oscar/.virtualenvs/google/lib/python3.4/site-packages/oauth2client/client.py", line 1412, in _RequireCryptoOrDie
    raise CryptoUnavailableError('No crypto library available')
oauth2client.client.CryptoUnavailableError: No crypto library available

here the error is clearly because there’s not crypto library but then I install pyopenssl ( I’ve try with both disto and pip packages ) the next error appears

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 12, in <module>
    credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials(json_key['client_email'],json_key['private_key'], scope)
  File "/home/oscar/.virtualenvs/google/lib/python3.4/site-packages/oauth2client/util.py", line 137, in positional_wrapper
    return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/home/oscar/.virtualenvs/google/lib/python3.4/site-packages/oauth2client/client.py", line 1469, in __init__
    self.private_key = base64.b64encode(private_key)
  File "/home/oscar/.virtualenvs/google/lib/python3.4/base64.py", line 62, in b64encode
    encoded = binascii.b2a_base64(s)[:-1]
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

I’m stuck in here.

@mdalpi Thanks! Using GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS Works on openwrt-yun. For those trying to use gspread on the Yun, it seems the pyopenssl version is too old (version 0.10 on Yun) and apparently oauth2client calls the method sign from pyopenssl which is undefined so using SignedJwtAssertionCredentials breaks.

For the environment variable, you must add the following line to the configuration file /etc/profile then restart: export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=“/path/to.json”
