Error During Installation: SyntaxError in bin/bootstrapping/install.py", line 71

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Install using the curl command:

curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

I'm using zsh-5.0.5, bash-4.2_p47, and python-3.3.5.

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

I expect the installation to finish successfully but get a syntax error in the 
install script instead.

What is the output of 'gcloud version'?

Command not found (installation has not finished yet).

Please provide any additional information below.

I was having the same issue and the SDK doesn't support python-3.3.5. It only 
supports Python 2.7. Once I installed 2.7, closed cmd.exe and started over 
again it worked fine.

That makes sense.  When will the SDK support python-3?  How can I help move 
this project to python-3?

My problem is that the default for the python variable is python3 (in linux). I 
do have python 2.7 available but it needs to be declare as python2. The 
installation script should be smart enough about this.

As a workaround, you can set the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON environment variable to the 
path of the python binary you would like to use.

Set and export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON to point to a python2.7 and that's what the 
Cloud SDK will use.
