谷歌云 SDk：找不到 Python

Question

After I install Google cloud sdk in my computer, I open the terminal and type "gcloud --version" but it says "python was not found"

note: I unchecked the box saying "Install python bundle" when I install Google cloud sdk because I already have python 3.10.2 installed.

so, how do fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

As mentioned in the document :

Cloud SDK requires Python; supported versions are Python 3 (preferred, 3.5 to 3.8) and Python 2 (2.7.9 or later). By default, the Windows version of Cloud SDK comes bundled with Python 3 and Python 2. To use Cloud SDK, your operating system must be able to run a supported version of Python.

As suggested by @John Hanley the CLI cannot find Python which is already installed. Try reinstalling the CLI selecting install Python bundle . If you are still facing the issue another workaround can be to try with Python version 2.xx

You can follow the below steps:

1.Uninstall all Python version 3 and above.

2.Install Python version -2.xx (I have installed - 2.7.17)

3.Create environment variable - CLOUDSDK_PYTHON and provide value as C:\Python27\python.exe

4.Run GoogleCloudSDKInstaller.exe again.

Answer 2

On ubuntu Linux, you can define this variable in the .bashrc file:

export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3

Answer 3

On Windows, setting the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON environment variable fixes this, but when I first tried this I pointed the variable to the folder containing the python executable and that didn't work. The variable apparently must point to the executable file.
