I am trying to follow this tutorial to so connect to Google Analytics API. I followed everything step by step. But when I run the module in python, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\me\Desktop\New folder (3)\HelloAnalytics.py", line 112, in <module>

with open(filename, 'rb') as file_obj:

If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great. The full code is right here:
