After updating gcloud from version 290.0.1 to version 306.0.0, I'm getting an error when I run a gsutil cp command:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/platform/gsutil/gsutil", line 21, in <module>
    gsutil.RunMain()
  File "/usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/platform/gsutil/gsutil.py", line 122, in RunMain
    import gslib.__main__

    import boto

    return load_source(name, filename, file)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/imp.py", line 172, in load_source
    module = _load(spec)
  File "/usr/share/google/boto/boto_plugins/compute_auth.py", line 18, in <module>
    import urllib2
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urllib2'

Following the downgrade instructions at https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/downloads-apt-get#downgrading_cloud_sdk_versions temporarily fixes the issue:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk=290.0.1-0

But I'd like to know how to get this working with the latest version.

I have installed the version 306.0.0 and I ran a gcloud cp command, but I didn't face the issue. For this reason, checking for causes for the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urllib2', it seems that they are always related to a Python library that isn't working correctly - as you can check in this two examples here and here.

However, in further searches, this plugin usually is used within Compute Engine and startup scripts to VMs with Python, more specific relating to the file compute_auth.py - which in the message seems to be related to the error - and as you can check for more information here about this file.

Considering that, the new version of Cloud SDK bring some updates to Compute Engine that could be causing the error. In case you are indeed, using Python within your applications, I would give it a try the solution from this case here, that would be to update the file compute_auth.py, changing the line import urllib2 toimport urllib.request as urllib2.

In case this doesn't fix, raising a bug within Google's Issue Tracker will be the best option, for a further investigation.

I had a similar case. In my case, Travis CI/CD was giving the below error. What I did is add the below script to my .travis.yml file before_script section.

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
635  File "/usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/platform/gsutil/gsutil", line 21, in <module>
636    gsutil.RunMain()
637  File "/usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/platform/gsutil/gsutil.py", line 121, in RunMain
638    import gslib.__main__
639  File "/usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/platform/gsutil/gslib/__main__.py", line 83, in <module>
640    import httplib2
641ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'httplib2'
642error Command failed with exit code 1

Fix:

before_script:
   - pip install httplib2 crcmod
