Description
I've installed google-api-python-client from source, but when at some point my application was failing with this message:
...

File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/oauth2client/util.py", line 142, in positional_wrapper
return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/googleapiclient/discovery.py", line 193, in build

File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/googleapiclient/discovery.py", line 215, in _retrieve_discovery_doc
from . import discovery_cache
ImportError: cannot import name discovery_cache
I've checked if discovery_cache module was actually part of the egg, and unfortunately it was not:

As a workaround I had to add googleapiclient/discovery_cache to the packages in setup.py so it looked like that:
[root@e42fb97ce657 google-api-python-client]# more setup.py | grep packages -A 4 -m1
packages = [
'apiclient',
'googleapiclient',
'googleapiclient/discovery_cache'
]
Then installed and everything magically started working.

Here is a quick sample that looks similar to my environment using Docker:
FROM centos:centos7
RUN yum install -y git python-devel python-setuptools unzip
RUN easy_install pip
RUN cd /tmp ;\
git clone https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client && \
cd google-api-python-client && \
python setup.py install
I've also tried to follow preferred suggestion from the README.md and install it from pip but it ended up in the same situation.
Please advice on how to proceed without making "manual" modifications to the official package?
