Answer 1

I had this issue tonight, and I was able to get by the error message by performing the following:

1. Install Python 2.7
2. Add Python install directory to PATH (my case: c:\\Python27)
3. Add System Variable CLOUDSDK_PYTHON to be python.exe in the Python install directory (my case: c:\\Python27\\python.exe)
4. Install Google Cloud SDK

I had set the environment variable HTTPS_PROXY and forgotten about it. I just had to remove it to get this to work.

I guess you may have the opposite issue if you're behind a proxy so make sure you set it (or maybe HTTP_PROXY ) to configure it.
