The code works fine on my local machine (win10).
Not sure if it is about package dependency or something else.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm facing the same problem.

I've been developing a script for my company and today I also get that error. Yesterday it worked perfectly.

Mine is latest version: 1.12.2
Python3: 3.8.2

The error doesn't happen with version 1.12.1 (tried it using pipenv).

Hi, as said, in the other ticket, did you try to upgrade to the last version of httplib2 as well?
close() attribute belongs to http object from httplib2 library.
Maybe it was not existing in the version of the library you are currently using?

Hi, I just want to add that I've just updated from python3.7 to python3.8 a few moments ago and a script I had stopped working for the newer version.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04, let me know if you need more info

Edit: Forgot to add, I've run pip3 install httplib2 and it was already satisfied with version 0.14.0

@frankShih

Having a look at httplib2 changelog, close() method appeared in v0.15.0

According your error report, you have version 0.12.0.

Please, upgrade 1st, then retry and report.
Thanks

That fixed it! Thanks you for you time

That fixed it! Thanks you for you time

1st time ever my feedback helps someone. Thanks to reply back ;) 👍
Feeling proud now ;)

Fixed for me aswell.

google-api-python-client: 1.12.2
httplib2: 0.18.1

I should note that this issue persists even with httplib2 version 0.19.0:

Update: I can confirm that this happens when using:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build

with build("youtube", "v3") as youtube:

but not when using

from googleapiclient.discovery import build

youtube = build("youtube", "v3")

I'm seeing this issue as well with httplib2 0.19.0 and google-api-python-client 2.20.0

from google.oauth2 import service_account
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

def authenticate_service():
    creds = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
        SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)

    service = build('drive', 'v3', credentials=creds)

    return service

here's the stack trace:

AttributeError: 'Http' object has no attribute 'close'

Nevermind, I've got httplib2==0.14.0 installed in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages that was actually being called despite having an updated httplib2 in ~/.local/lib/python3/site-packages

Traceback (most recent call last):

discovery_http.close()
AttributeError: 'Http' object has no attribute 'close'

i've upgrade to httplib2 0.20.4 but still have this problem ..

I needed to re-install google-api-python-client after upgrading httplib2 for the error to go away.

pip install --upgrade httplib2
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client
