GBQ: Handle deprecation of oauth2client.tools.run() · Issue #8327 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Right now, when you use GbqConnector, you get the following warning:

WARNING:root:This function, oauth2client.tools.run(), and the use of the gflags library are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the library.

I'm not sure how quickly this deprecation will happen or if there are alternatives to keep things the way that they are; but at least worthwhile to have an issue here to address it (in the future).

As an aside, I've been glancing at the source for the bq client that Google provides as part of Google Cloud SDK and I'm wondering how public the methods are (i.e., if we could adapt some of the code or functions that bq.py uses to authenticate and be able to get credentials set up from gcloud auth login rather than requiring a separate oauth flow). Not sure though.

Again, cc @jacobschaer , I'd be interested in your opinion on whether this is worth investigating at all. I've been finding read_gbq and to_gbq quite useful - thanks for putting it together!
