This will ensure a timely response.\n\nPlease run down the following list and make sure you've tried the usual \"quick fixes\":\n\n  - Search the issues already opened: https://github.com/googleapis/python-api-core/issues\n  - Search StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-cloud-platform+python\n\nIf you are still having issues, please be sure to include as much information as possible:\n\n#### Environment details\n\n  - OS type and version: Windows 11\n  - Python version: `python --version` Python 3.11.3\n  - pip version: `pip --version` pip 22.3.1\n  - `google-api-core` version: `pip show google-api-core` 2.28.0\n\n#### Steps to reproduce\n\nThe `google-api-python-client` library requires this library to function. There was a new tag a few hours ago that introduced some changes to the way versioning is being done: https://github.com/googleapis/python-api-core/commit/d36e896f98a2371c4d58ce1a7a3bc1a77a081836. It doesn't look like the `packaging` library is being installed as I am getting an error when trying to use the `google-api-python-client` library.\n\n#### Stack trace\n```\n  File \"---\\app\\common\\translators\\googletranslate.py\", line 2, in \u003cmodule\u003e\n    from googleapiclient.discovery import build\n  File \"---\\app\\venv\\Lib\\site-packages\\googleapiclient\\discovery.py\", line 42, in \u003cmodule\u003e\n    import google.api_core.client_options\n  File \"---\\app\\venv\\Lib\\site-packages\\google\\api_core\\__init__.py\", line 20, in \u003cmodule\u003e\n    from google.api_core import _python_package_support\n  File \"---\\app\\venv\\Lib\\site-packages\\google\\api_core\\_python_package_support.py\", line 28, in \u003cmodule\u003e\n    from packaging.version import parse as parse_version\nModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'packaging'\n```\n\nMaking sure to follow these steps will guarantee the quickest resolution possible.\n\nThanks!\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jmctune","@type":"Person","name":"jmctune"},"datePublished":"2025-10-28T00:54:20.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":8},"url":"https://github.com/848/python-api-core/issues/848"}
