So I have python version 3.8.12, and while trying to build a cloudrun app, I get the error:

ERROR: gcloud failed to load: module 'collections' has no attribute 'Mapping'

Now when I try to run and install Gcloud SDK again, I get the error:

Welcome to the Google Cloud SDK! Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/Users/eshanchatty/downloads/./google-cloud-sdk/bin/bootstrapping/install.py", line 12, in <module>
    import bootstrapping   File "/Users/eshanchatty/Downloads/google-cloud-sdk/bin/bootstrapping/bootstrapping.py", line 46, in <module>
    from googlecloudsdk.core.updater import update_manager   File "/Users/eshanchatty/Downloads/google-cloud-sdk/lib/googlecloudsdk/core/updater/update_manager.py", line 39, in <module>
    from googlecloudsdk.core.console import progress_tracker   File "/Users/eshanchatty/Downloads/google-cloud-sdk/lib/googlecloudsdk/core/console/progress_tracker.py", line 651, in <module>
    class _BaseStagedProgressTracker(collections.Mapping): AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'Mapping'

What is causing this, and how can I solve this?

gcloud python

Yesterday I updated Fedora to version 35. This version uses Python 3.10 by default.

In this version, collections does not have Mapping. I got the same errors as you did.

I haven't tried to reinstall Google Cloud SDK. Instead, I wrote this line to my ~/.bashrc file:

export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON=python2

Then closed and opened the terminal.

Now the SDK uses Python 2 instead of Python 3. This solved the issue for me.
