When we reach this line of code, we get "TypeError: unsupported type for timedelta seconds component: str"

google-auth-library-python/google/oauth2/_client.py

Line 123 in 6c1297c

return _helpers.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=expires_in)

It would appear that the response from the token server has expires_in as a string:

Request:

https://securetoken.googleapis.com/v1/token?key=AI... 
{
  'grant_type': 
  'refresh_token', 
  'client_id': '76...', 
  'client_secret': '...', 
  'refresh_token': 'AO...'
}

Response:

{
  'access_token': 'ey...', 
  **'expires_in': '3600'**, 
  'token_type': 'Bearer', 
  'refresh_token': 'AO...', 
  'id_token': 'ey...', 
  'user_id': 'Xs...', 
  'project_id': '23...'
}

Seems this code should expect a string and not an integer.
