trying to log into my instance using gcloud crashes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

gcloud compute --project "testweb1ari" ssh --zone "us-central1-a" "instance-1"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I should be able to log into the server
Please provide any additional information below.

This used to work but no longer does.
gcutil --service_version="v1" --project="testweb1ari" ssh  
--zone="us-central1-a" "instance-1"

gcutil is no longer on the system (my local machine)

Sorry This is a duplicate ticket

A different Python distribution was being called.

export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python

fixes the problem for me
