from google.cloud import firestore ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google'

Question

I am unable to get my application working reading documents from Google Firestore.

Here is my python Flask main.py

from flask import Flask
from google.cloud import firestore

app = Flask(__name__)
db = firestore.Client()

@app.route('/')
def hello():
    posts_ref = db.collections(u'posts')
    posts = posts_ref.get()
    for post in posts:
        return u'{} => {}'.format(post.id, post.to_dict())


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='127.0.0.1', port=8080, debug=True)

However the logs are showing the following error.

My directory structure

I have init .py in lib folder and in google folder.

As dustin-ingram@ suggests, it's probable that you've not imported the google.cloud.firestore (and possibly flask ) packages correctly.

A good practice is to create a virtualenv, a requirements.txt and then pip install -r requirements.txt . Its contents may be:

flask==1.0.2
google-cloud-firestore==0.31.0

You've also a typo in your code; it's collection not collections :

posts_ref = db.collection(u'posts')

You will need to have enabled Firestore in your project (and possibly created the posts collection before you run your code too).
