Connecting to Google Analytics API using Python
<p>I have tried to follow <a href="https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/quickstart/service-py" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tutorial</a> to connect to Google Analytics API. I have followed the instructions, step by step. I have Python 2.7 installed on my computer. I have installed Google client library. When I run the program, i get the following error in the terminal:</p>

<pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "HelloAnalytics.py", line 6, in &lt;module&gt;
    from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredential
ImportError: cannot import name SignedJwtAssertionCredentials
</code></pre>

<p>The line 6 that it referring to is:</p>

<pre><code>from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredentials
</code></pre>

<p>I am at a complete lost. I looked at others who have had the same error, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14063124/importerror-cannot-import-name-signedjwtassertioncredentials">here</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28191213/importerror-cannot-import-name-signedjwtassertioncredentials-using-appengine-de">here</a>, and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35733897/import-error-google-analytics-api-authorization">here</a>, but the solutions did not work. I have some programming knowledge, but compared to many of you, I am a noob. </p>

<p>The full code is here:</p>
