AttributeError: module 'importlib' has no attribute 'util'

I've just upgraded from Fedora 32 to Fedora 33 (which comes with Python 3.9). Since then gcloud command stopped working: [guy@Gandalf32 ~]$ gcloud Error processing line 3 of /home/guy/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/XStatic-1.0.2-py3.9-nspkg.pth: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site.py", line 169, in addpackage exec(line) File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 562, in module_from_spec AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'loader' Remainder of file ignored Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/google-cloud-sdk/lib/gcloud.py", line 104, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib64/google-cloud-sdk/lib/gcloud.py", line 62, in main from googlecloudsdk.core.util import encoding File "/usr/lib64/google-cloud-sdk/lib/googlecloudsdk/__init__.py", line 23, in <module> from googlecloudsdk.core.util import importing File "/usr/lib64/google-cloud-sdk/lib/googlecloudsdk/core/util/importing.py", line 23, in <module> import imp File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/imp.py", line 23, in <module> from importlib import util File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/importlib/util.py", line 2, in <module> from . import abc File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/importlib/abc.py", line 17, in <module> from typing import Protocol, runtime_checkable File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/typing.py", line 26, in <module> import re as stdlib_re # Avoid confusion with the re we export.

Update from GCP support GCP support mentioned that the new version 318.0.0 released on 2020.11.10 should support python 3.9 I updated my gcloud sdk to 318.0.0 and now looks like python 3.9.0 is supported. To fix this issue run gcloud components update Fedora 33 includes python 2.7 and to force GCloud SDK to use it please set this environment variable export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON=python2 You can add this export command to your ~/.bash_profile Python 3.9 is very new and is expected that Gcloud SDK does not support 3.9, it is written to be compatible with 2.7.x & 3.6 - 3.8 (3.8 can cause some compat issues I recommend to use 3.7) As a workaround, configure Python 3.8 or 3.7 (these versions work well for Gcloud and most of linux distros) as system wide interpreter and try to use gcloud commands.
