Disabling ipv6 didn't work for me. I tried a bunch of things before getting it to work. I upgraded to mojave OSX before getting the issues.

I updated mac headers as mentioned here:

open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg

Rebooted then reinstalled python2: brew reinstall python2

At this point the issue still persisted, decided to reinstall gcloud and came across this: I was using zsh so I added the followin .zshrc:

source /google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc
source /google-cloud-sdk/completion.zsh.inc

For bash:

source /google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc
source /google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc`

Then a gcloud init got me resetting some proxy configuration that was probably the main issue from the start.
