Understanding the Problem

If you've been developing a Python project using google-cloud-storage, you may encounter a cryptic but frustrating error when your application runs on Google App Engine:

This issue can occur while trying to upload files or work with cloud storage functionality, and it signifies that your setup might be using incompatible package versions. Surprisingly, everything could work perfectly on your local machine only to break when deployed to App Engine.

Why This Happens

The error message specifically indicates that the method called in the google-cloud-storage library is being handed an argument (timeout) that it does not expect. This is often a sign that the versions of the libraries involved—google-cloud-storage and google-resumable-media—are out of sync.

The Solution

Fortunately, resolving this problem is straightforward! It primarily involves adjusting the version of the google-resumable-media package. Follow these steps to correct the issue:

Step 1: Uninstall Current Packages

Open your terminal and run the following commands to uninstall the existing versions of google-resumable-media and google-cloud-storage:

Why These Versions?

google-resumable-media==0.6.0: This version is compatible with certain features of google-cloud-storage and ensures that you won’t encounter the timeout argument issue.

google-cloud-storage==1.30.0: This version makes sure you're using a stable release that works seamlessly with the older google-resumable-media that you installed.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the unexpected keyword argument 'timeout' error when deploying your Python application to Google App Engine. Always remember that maintaining compatible library versions is crucial for smooth operation, especially in cloud environments.

If you continue to experience issues, consider checking the documentation for both libraries or upgrading to the latest versions after ensuring compatibility.
