ImportError: cannot import name get_client

[j450h1]

Hi there,

I can't seem to resolve this issue. I upgrade all my Anaconda packages and reinstalled this package. However, I keep getting this error:

ImportError: cannot import name get_client

When I try to import as such:

from bigquery import get_client

Any tips?

Here is what I see when I install this package:

Try

import bigquery

print(bigquery.get_client)

Does it works?

No, it doesn't.

import bigquery

ImportError: cannot import name get_client

I think it might have something to do with the anaconda distribution or spyder?

Umm, I'm using anaconda but it works.

Okay, I got it working in iPython console. I think the issue is with the spyder IDE. Both the iPython console kernel and regular Python console kernel return this error within Spyder:

ImportError: cannot import name get_client

For Windows at least, since it worked fine in the Mac version of Spyder.

I solved it! Rookie move: I named my python file bigquery.py which is the same name as the module! That's why I was getting that error. Thanks for helping me troubleshoot!
