ImportError: cannot import name 'types' from 'google.cloud.vision' though I have google cloud vision installed
Oct 1
I have installed google-cloud-vision library following the documentation. It is for some reason unable to import types from google.cloud.vision. It worked fine on my pc, now when I shared with my client, he had a problem with imports though he has the library installed via pip. Here's the line that throws error:
from google.cloud import vision
from google.cloud.vision import types # this line throws error
Any idea how to resolve this issue?

It's probably because there's some version mismatch (or less likely there's other library(s) with the same name). Have your client use a virtual environment. This should resolve the issue.
P.S. You'll have to provide him with a requirements.txt file (obtained from pip3 freeze) so that he can do a pip3 install -r requirements.txt on his virtual environment to have the exact same packages as yours.
