Importing modules from google.cloud package hangs indefinitely

[y4n9squared]

If I install google-cloud in a brand new virtual environment and don't use the wheel distribution, importing modules from the package causes the program to hang indefinitely.

pip install google-cloud --no-binary :all:  # force pip to install sdist
python -c "from google.cloud import datastore"   # hangs 

The only material difference I see between installing wheel vs. egg is compiling the grpcio dependency, which has c extensions.

$ pip show google-cloud
Name: google-cloud
Version: 0.25.0
Summary: API Client library for Google Cloud
Home-page: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python
Author: Google Cloud Platform

Location: /home/yang/.virtualenvs/pyvatic/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Requires: google-cloud-bigquery, google-cloud-bigtable, google-cloud-core, google-cloud-datastore, google-cloud-dns, google-cloud-error-reporting, google-cloud-language, google-cloud-logging, google-cloud-monitoring, google-cloud-pubsub, google-cloud-resource-manager, google-cloud-spanner, google-cloud-speech, google-cloud-storage, google-cloud-translate, google-cloud-vision, google-cloud-runtimeconfig

$ python --version
Python 2.7.12

$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.9.4-2ubuntu1~16.04) 4.9.4

Installing from wheel distribution works fine, but if a package lists google-cloud as a dependency in its own setup.py, pip won't install wheels since its not supported in setuptools and the program will hang whenever modules from google-cloud are imported.

I'm running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

@y4n9squared I just tried and can't reproduce. Can you consistently reproduce this? (i.e. make a brand new virtualenv and run the commands in the same order)

[y4n9squared]

@dhermes Yes, I can reliably reproduce. I might have made a slight errata in reporting my error. Try

pip install google-cloud --no-use-wheel

instead of the --no-binary :all: option. I thought those were the same but perhaps they are not.

Here is a full trace from a brand new environment:

yang@yang1 ~ $ mkvirtualenv test2

DEPRECATION: --no-use-wheel is deprecated and will be removed in the future.  Please use --no-binary :all: instead.

@y4n9squared It's worth noting the warning printed by pip:

$ pip install google-cloud --no-use-wheel
DEPRECATION: --no-use-wheel is deprecated and will be removed in the future.  Please use --no-binary :all: instead.

I ran the same commands you just outlined and the import worked just fine.

@dhermes I have traced it to something specific on my machine. It seems to work fine on a brand new GCP instance that I spun up as well as my OS X machine.

Thanks for doing the sleuthing! Sorry this happened to you, happy to help if there is more we can do. Cheers.

Hi, I have been having difficulty with this same issue. A new conda environment does seem to fix, but that isn't always possible. Environments that worked previously are hanging on "from google.cloud import bigquery" for me as well. In script, ipython, or command line. Any ideas on how this could be debugged?

[y4n9squared]

@AnupJonchhe it's been a very long time since I encountered this and I don't remember what the root cause was anymore for me. From my comment three years ago, it seems like there was something special about my host. Try running strace (or your OS equivalent) of the simple import command:

strace python -c "import ..."

and see where it is hanging. This might be how I started debugging back then...

I am running into this issue and for me I've traced it down to this import hanging:

from cryptography.hazmat.bindings._rust import exceptions as rust_exceptions

Upgrading to the latest version of cryptography addressed the issue for me.
