AttributeError: module 'importlib' has no attribute 'util'
Sep 22
I've just upgraded from Fedora 32 to Fedora 33 (which comes with Python 3.9). Since then gcloud command stopped working:
[guy@Gandalf32 ~]$ gcloud

Update from GCP support
GCP support mentioned that the new version 318.0.0 released on 2020.11.10
should support python 3.9
I updated my gcloud sdk to 318.0.0 and now looks like python 3.9.0 is supported.
To fix this issue run
gcloud components update
Fedora 33 includes python 2.7 and to force GCloud SDK to use it please set this environment variable
export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON=python2
You can add this export command to your ~/.bash_profile
Python 3.9 is very new and is expected that Gcloud SDK does not support 3.9, it is written to be compatible with 2.7.x & 3.6 - 3.8 (3.8 can cause some compat issues I recommend to use 3.7)
As a workaround, configure Python 3.8 or 3.7 (these versions work well for Gcloud and most of linux distros) as system wide interpreter and try to use gcloud commands.
