CryptoUnavailableError: No crypto library available (using oauth2client in google app engine)


I am using gspread to connect my application to spreadsheet and for that I am using the following code

import json
import gspread
from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredentials

json_key = json.load(open('service_account.json'))
scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds']
credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials(json_key['client_email'], json_key['private_key'], scope)
gc = gspread.authorize(credentials)
sheet = gc.open('Order Database').sheet1

This same code worked fine when I used it in idle to get access to the spreadsheet.But when I used it in the code for my application, for which I am using Google App Engine, when I run the app and try to get access to the page I get this error

    raise CryptoUnavailableError('No crypto library available')
CryptoUnavailableError: No crypto library available

I even installed the libraries in the project directory successfully:

pip install -t lib PyOpenSSL
pip install -t lib gspread
pip install -t lib oauth2client
pip install -t lib cryptography 

I even tried adding --upgrade to each of it and all of it installed successfully but got the same error

Please tell me if I am doing anything wrong and how can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • Ok, I finally solved the problem. All I actually had to was to add the following to app.yaml :

    libraries:
    - name: pycrypto
      version: "latest"
