Cannot import name search
See original GitHub issueI’ve installed google via pip for both python2 (system distro) and anaconda for python3. I’m using ubuntu 16.04. When I try to import anything, like search, it says
ImportError: cannot import name 'search'
That’s after doing
from google import search
The same thing happens in python2 or 3.
When I import google and check the ‘dir’, it says: (python3)
In [84]: dir(google)
Out[84]: ['__doc__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__']
(python2)
In [3]: dir(google)
Out[3]: ['__doc__', '__name__', '__path__']
Any ideas what’s going on? The __init__.py file looks fine where it’s installed, which I found from google.__path__. But I thought for most packages, .__file__ was the way to specify the filepath to the module.

ImportError: cannot import name ‘search’ from ‘googlesearch’
AttributeError: module ‘googlesearch’ has no attribute ‘search’
This is not working on google colab apparently.
