Troubleshooting Installation Via Pip #2440
Description
[Background: I am a product analyst with experience in python and would like to use the google cloud package for python to query directly from my company's BigQuery instead of using a bash wrapper and the gcloud sdk.]
I was unable to install use pip (I forget the exact error as this was yesterday) but it finally installed when I used the flag --ignore-installed
However, when I then ran from google.cloud import bigquery I then ran into an IOError: Permission Denied: <'path/to/protobuf-3.0.0-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/namespace_packages.txt'> which I solved by changing the permissions on that. Now, I receive this traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm not sure if this is an error with my installation or with the google cloud package itself, and I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, so apologies that I cannot ask a clearer question. Thank you.
