At first, I hoped I could find this problem anywhere on the internet, but I've searched a while and couldn't find anyone with a similar problem. When I try to run the googleapiclient module, it kinda fails somewhere - and I'm not sure what's going wrong.
To test it, I've started to run the following file:
import googleapiclient
print('Step one!')
import googleapiclient.discovery
print('Step two!')
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
print('Yay! All steps complete!')
The first import goes well, as the first print statement is made successfully. However, after that, it all seems to go wrong;
Step one!
Traceback (most recent call last):

I've tried to force reinstall the module using pip. I've installed any package that people suggested on similar threads where people had trouble with this package, (talking about apiclient, httplib2, oauth2client and uritemplate) and I'm really confused about this Traceback as it seems to refer to two different lines in my code.
What am I doing wrong?
You have caused a circular import. Your file is called calendar.py, which hides the standard library module of the same name. As you can see in the traceback, _parseaddr.py imports calendar, expecting to find the stdlib module, but finds yours instead, and is now in a circle.
Rename your file to something else.
