App Engine says "no module named cloud"

[Praxiteles]

When trying to run the command "from google.cloud import bigquery" on AppEngine, we receive an error "no module named cloud" in the logs.

Is this not designed to work on App Engine? Do we need to vendor in the libraries?

Hi! BigQuery Client Library is available on App Engine Flexible Environment, but you need to install it first. You could specify the package google-cloud-bigquery in requirements.txt.

If you are using the App Engine Standard Environment, unfortunately as of now the client libraries are not supported. You may want to use the Google API Client Library to communicate with the BigQuery service.
