Had this weird problem where the from google.cloud import storage line would work in the Python interpreter but would spit out this error while running within a file.

Running pip install --upgrade google-cloud-storage was enough for it to be solved in my case. I guess it’s indeed a bug in pip.

What’s very strange is that pip freeze is identical.

Not sure what we can do though. It’s likely a bug with pip or setuptools. All we can do is recommend a clean uninstall / fresh environment.

Uninstalling and doing a clean install did solve it.

Sure, though after my last comment I think it won’t be interesting 😃

Yes, that also failed – but I think I’ve got it – I had to uninstall both google-cloud and also protobuf, then let google-cloud reinstall protobuf.

Yay packaging! Try pip show google-cloud-storage.

What command did you use to install?
What other google packages have you installed that may be hopping in front of your import?
