pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: colorama

Tried running the example code, and got this error:

Although I'm pretty sure this project has lagged behind the latest release of https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python , that error is puzzling: colorama is not needed or used by it or by any of its dependencies.

How did you install it?

Is there a demo project that hasn't lagged behind the latest release? Is
there another demo project I should be looking at?

I just updated this one this morning: it works for me with the master.

I still don't see how the errors I fixed today could have provoked the error you reported, though.

What kind of google compute instance (OS version and hardware) did you test
it on?

Let's flip this around. What commands did you run to get this error.

colorama has absolutely nothing to do with this sample or the library

I cannot reproduce with a virtualenv built on my own machine.

This happened on my Windows 2012 machine.

Yeah the C: at the beginning of the path makes that much clear.

What commands did you run to get the error? How did you setup your environment?

[SurferJeffAtGoogle]

I installed Python 2.7.9.

Then:
pip install gcloud

Then I downloaded and unpacked the .zip.

Then:
$ cd /path/to/gcloud-python-expenses-demo
$ /path/to/virtualenv/bin/pip install -e .

Then I set GCLOUD_TESTS_* environment variables.

Then, I ran the submit_expenses command.

I just saw a "needs colorama" bit in an entirely unrelated project. I wonder if it is now a dependcy of setuptools?
