I had to install two packages to make it work in el Capitan. I was getting exactly the same errors you are getting.

httplib2 & Config

For Config package:
https://www.red-dove.com/config-doc/
Download: http://www.red-dove.com/config-0.3.7.tar.gz
Once downloaded, extract the file( double click in OSX), from the Terminal (CLI), navigate to the directory of the file you just extracted, run the following command:
python setup.py install

For httplib2 package:

Follow same steps as above...
