gsutil: ImportError: No module named google

As of Friday 11th of February, 2016, gsutil has suddenly stopped working. I run nightly backups using gsutil, and prior to executing I perform a gcloud components update.

$ gsutil --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/IRUser/google-cloud-sdk/bin/bootstrapping/gsutil.py", line 12, in <module>
    import bootstrapping
  File "/home/IRUser/google-cloud-sdk/bin/bootstrapping/bootstrapping.py", line 9, in <module>
    import setup
  File "/home/IRUser/google-cloud-sdk/bin/bootstrapping/setup.py", line 41, in <module>
    reload(google)
ImportError: No module named google

If I manually pip install google, gsutil works fine again. However, I question that this somehow wasn't performed by gcloud components update.

My question: Isn't gcloud components update supposed to take care of any such dependencies?

I'm on CentOS 7.

This issue has been reported https://code.google.com/p/google-cloud-sdk/issues/detail?id=538

"google" package was included in previous releases of cloud sdk, but it is no longer needed.

On python installations (which have protobuf installed) "google" package is auto-imported on the startup the reload of existing google package can fail.

By installing it "google" with pip you made reload stop complaining about the module, even though it is not used.

Alternatively you can apply patches suggested in the above issue log.
