After upgrading to Google Cloud SDK version 184.0.0, I started to get this error whenever trying to access my app's URLs - "ImportError: No module named ipaddr".

The full log looked like this...

ImportError: No module named ipaddr


Running `gcloud version` gave these results...
 gcloud version
Google Cloud SDK 184.0.0
app-engine-python 1.9.65
beta 2017.09.15
bq 2.0.28
core 2018.01.05
gcloud
gsutil 4.28




As the error suggested the ipaddr module file was missing from the google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine directory. The fix was to get a copy of this file from google's GitHub repository manually.

I used downloaded the file from this location.
 Command
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/ipaddr-py/master/ipaddr.py


Then I moved the file to the google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine directory...
 Command
mv ipaddr.py google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/ipaddr.py


Once the file was in place and the dev server was restarted, the error went away and I could start testing my app again.
