google-cloud-sdk: python3 -> python311

[kraem]

pin the python version to 3.11 as the latest google-cloud-sdk bump broke gsutil with:

Error: gsutil requires Python version 2.7 or 3.5-3.11, but a different version is installed.
You are currently running Python 3.12
Follow the steps below to resolve this issue:
        1. Switch to Python 3.5-3.11 using your Python version manager or install an appropriate version.
        2. If you are unsure how to manage Python versions, visit [https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil_install#specifications] for detailed instructions.

Let's update to at least 500.0.0 instead, which even supports Python 3.13: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/release-notes

Well, I did that the other day:
#356927

And we still get this error it seems.

Seems gsutil still don't support python 3.12:

I'm wondering if this check is actually faulty GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil#1808 - Maybe we can patch out the check in gustily.py instead of reverting the sdk to an older python?

[terlar]

Seems we should be able to patch it out:
GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil#1797 (comment)

In the meantime while waiting for their update to fully support 3.12.

It has not been less supported than now before the version check and I guess 3.12 has been used for a while...

nice find(s).

i'm not versed well enough with python to tell if it should run fine on python 3.12 or not. feel free to close this if/when you patch the version check out 👍

Might be better to do this then revert when upstream resolves python312 support for gsutil.

Could reproduce the issue and confirm this workaround on a workplace private repository.
