Python not finding google module

Question

I'm using python 3.9.1 and I'm trying to use the google api in my script.

When I run the script it complains that it can't find the google module:

    python .\gcp_list_buckets.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "C:\Users\bluet\OneDrive\Desktop\important_folders\project\git\cloud_scripts\gcp_scripts\python\gcp_list_buckets.py", line 1, in <module>
        from google.cloud import storage
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google'

I'm working in a virtual env and I installed the google module before running it:

$ pip show google
Name: google
Version: 3.0.0
Summary: Python bindings to the Google search engine.

This is my import statement in my script:

from google.cloud import storage

Why am I getting this error and how do I get past this?

I don't think you have the package installed. Installing the module google doesnt bring in absolutely everything available. The package you have installed isn't even an official google package. Try pip install google-cloud-storage. Then run it again. — Paul Rooney

You don't have the right package installed. You need the google-cloud-storage package.

pip install google-cloud-storage
