Importing & initializing GCP googleapis/google-cloud-python clients
So I figured it out, primarily I had an issue with another google package that messed up my dependencies.
The import statement is as follows:
from google.cloud.resourcemanager_v3.services.projects.client import ProjectsClient
and the initialization is simply this:
client = ProjectsClient()
Note however, that this relies on an existing application default credentials file existing on the machine, which can be created by running the following command in the console:
gcloud auth application-default login
