According stackflow solved by following command:

pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client

It's good to handle this bug and make installation pain-free 👏

@Opdoop thanks for the fix, and the PR.

@jinyongyoo It looks like this problem happens bc the google lm depends on google.protobuf, which I'm assuming is installed when you install tensorflow. So now that tensorflow is optional, google.protobuf doesn't exist. Should we add google-api-python-client to the requirements.txt as is done in #342? Or should we make google lazily imported somehow?

Thanks. Issues Solved.
