Errors in the Youtube API v3 python examples

Question

Because Youtube Engineers monitor stack overflow with tags related to Youtube API v3

When executing:

#!/usr/bin/python

from apiclient.discovery import build
from apiclient.errors import HttpError
from oauth2client.tools import argparser

I am receiving the following error:

from apiclient.discovery import build ImportError: No module named apiclient.discovery

Please Google Engineers correct the samples so people starting with the API don't get stuck with this kind of errors.

Have you tried reporting it as a bug? code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/… — Linda Lawton - DaImTo

I used StackOverflow as suggested in developers.google.com/youtube/v3/support as it´s an error of the documentation not the API. It seems that google enginyeers are monitoring the questions here that have certain tags. — jordipala

The error disappears changing with this minor changes:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from googleapiclient.errors import HttpError
from oauth2client.tools import argparser

All this applies to Python 2.7.X
