ModuleImportError from upgrading from 22.1.0 to 25.0.0 (previous version had error handling since removed)

[alasdair-fowler-deliveroo]

Describe the bug:
Since upgrading library version (22.1.0 to 25.0.0) we get a ModuleNotFoundError in AWS once google-ads is deployed, but not locally. We didn't make any code changes and our code used to work, and works with the same library version locally.

I think it may be that this change was made here in PR 830 (see below). Why was that error handling there, and why was it removed? Can it be re-added?

Old:

try:
    _CLIENT_INFO = ClientInfo(
        client_library_version=pkg_resources.get_distribution(
            "google-ads",
        ).version,
    )
except pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound:
    _CLIENT_INFO = ClientInfo()

New:

_CLIENT_INFO = ClientInfo(client_library_version=metadata.version("google-ads"))

Steps to Reproduce:
In unknown circumstances, from google.ads.googleads import client causes a ModuleNotFoundError

Expected behavior:
from google.ads.googleads import client works!

Client library version and API version:
Client library version: 25.0.0
Google Ads API version: 17

Bumping this. I am hitting this same behavior. Same error on AWS only when upgrading to google-ads > 23.0.0, local is fine.

[ahmed101263]

Hello, I am getting the same error after upgrading google-ads to 25.0.1 version on AWS( ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google'). any suggestions to solve it ?

@alasdair-fowler-deliveroo which version of Python is being run in AWS when you receive this error?

[corlord]

I know I wasn't asked... but I personally tried deploying to AWS using Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11. All exhibited the same error behavior.

[alasdair-fowler-deliveroo]

We're using 3.9

I ended up resolving it by finding that in our deployment pipeline we were removing .dist-info files. However, IMO this shouldn't have been necessary
