pip install tencentcloud-sdk-python-dc

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tencentcloud.dc' ↓

cause Missing or incorrectly installed package; also the common package may be missing.

fix

Run: pip install tencentcloud-sdk-python-dc tencentcloud-sdk-python-common

error AttributeError: module 'tencentcloud.dc' has no attribute 'v20180410' ↓

cause The versioned subpackage is not available due to old SDK version or wrong import path.

fix

Upgrade to >=3.0.0: pip install --upgrade tencentcloud-sdk-python-dc

error tencentcloud.common.exception.tencent_cloud_sdk_exception.TencentCloudSDKException: [TencentCloudSDKException] code: UnauthorizedOperation ↓

cause Invalid or missing credentials (secret ID/key).

fix

Set environment variables TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID and TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_KEY correctly.

Warnings

breaking The SDK package structure changed in v3.0.0. Imports now require versioned subpackages (e.g., v20180410). ↓

fix Use from tencentcloud.dc.v20180410 import dc_client instead of old top-level paths.

deprecated The old credential provider (CommonClient) is deprecated; use credential.Credential with environment variables. ↓

fix Use credential.Credential(secret_id, secret_key) and set TENCENTCLOUD_SECRET_ID/KEY.

gotcha The SDK does not support async (asyncio) natively. Using it in async frameworks may cause blocking. ↓

fix Run requests in a thread pool or use a separate thread executor.

gotcha Region must be specified on client creation (e.g., 'ap-guangzhou'). Missing region leads to empty responses. ↓

fix Always pass the region string to DcClient(cred, region).
