ImportError with startup script for Google Cloud Compute

I get an ImportError with startup script for Google Cloud Compute. I believe there is something wrong with permissions and/or SSH. My program runs fine from the SSH console. In the start-up script, it gets an import error. I've tried putting the full path, partial path etc. This is the debug output. My startup script is cd, then python path/to/file.py. Ubuntu 1604 xenial v20190212. 

startup-script: INFO Starting startup scripts.
startup-script: INFO Found startup-script in metadata.
startup-script: INFO startup-script: Traceback (most recent call last):

Ran into a similar issue where my startup script was pretty much only

python3 myscriptname

The issue was that when the startup script ran python3, it referenced a different installation of python3 than the one I installed all my modules on. So I qualified the python3 (in my case /opt/conda/bin/python3) and the ImportErrors went away.

The solution was to install all the dependencies on the root. So I did sudo su, then reinstalled python, etc.
