googleapiclient.discovery.build() fails with message: module ‘six.moves’ has no attribute ‘collections_abc’

We only see this problem with google-api-python-client 1.12.0. 1.11.0 is fine.

Hi @jqll,

Thanks for filing an issue. It looks like this is a result of not advancing the lower bound on six. collections_abc is only available in six>=1.13.0. See six’s changelog.

https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/blob/5eff2d2e6173b3018361851c91b7b565b07ea608/setup.py#L37-L47

@kalyanac At the moment tests always install the latest version of dependencies. We’re going to move to having explicit requirements.txt for tests runs so we catch lower bound issues like this automatically in the future.

For now, you can use 1.11.0 or upgrade six. A new release 1.12.1 should be released later today with the adjusted pin on six.

Thanks for the quick fix!
