I want to do a google search in python3 on windows. The google instructions say they support python3 and to type "gcloud topic init" for details - but that fails saying no interpreter for python2.7. Do I have to install python2.7 to find out how to get it working on python3?

On python3 I get an error message as below. I have set up an API key and a Custom search engine. I did "pip install google-api-python-client". I downloaded and ran GoogleCloudSDKInstaller. This is the error:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
service = build("customsearch", "v1", developerKey="xxxxxx")

I get:

[googleapiclient.discovery_cache:WARNING]:file_cache is unavailable when using oauth2client >= 4.0.0 or google-auth (__init__.py:44, time=Apr-07 17:25) Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\Users\simon\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\googleapiclient\discovery_cache\__init__.py", line 36, in autodetect

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Needs the parameter cache_discovery=False when creating service, like follows:

service = discovery.build('customsearch', 'v1', credentials=<...>, cache_discovery=False)
