@mr-ubik after some investigation, it doesn't seem like that's the source of your issue.
Please run the following commands in a shell that you encounter that error and submit the output you get as a comment here or in the github issue:
$ gcloud --version ; { [ -z "$CLOUDSDK_PYTHON" ] && echo "CLOUDSDK_PYTHON unset" ; } || { echo "CLOUDSDK_PYTHON: ${CLOUDSDK_PYTHON}" && type -S "$CLOUDSDK_PYTHON" ; }
