Gcloud command fails after gcloud components update

[zoom_bat]

I have trouble running gcloud commands after gcloud components update.

I'm using VS code Ubuntu 20.04. The error I get is:

ile "/home/user/google-cloud-sdk/lib/googlecloudsdk/core/util/encoding.py", line 41, in Encode
    if not six.PY2:
AttributeError: module 'six' has no attribute 'PY2'

I have installed six module.

I've installed six with:

pip install six

I've set CLOUDSDK_PYTHON=/home/user/.pyenv/versions/3.10.0/bin/python3.10.

When executing Python3.10, and import six and print(six.PY2) everything works fine, and I don't get error. Only when executing gcloud commands.

What could be the reason for this?

The output of pip show six:

Hi @zoom_bat,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

You may want to perform the following in order to check whether gcloud SDK is properly installed:

• Type gcloud version to check the current version installed in your system. Latest version is 466.0.0.
• Check the Python version installed. The Google Cloud CLI requires Python 3.8 to 3.12.
• Please check this documentation on installing gcloud CLI 
• You may also reinstall gcloud CLI by following this documentation on uninstalling gcloud CLI then installing gcloud CLI again.

If the aforementioned steps didn't work, you may file a bug so that our engineers could take a look at this. We don't have a specific ETA but you can keep track of its progress once the ticket has been created.

Hope this helps.
