cannot import name timestamp_pb2 when running on local ubuntu machine

[vsubramani]

Importing gcloud barfs on my local machine. Here the system and version details and the error message.

This may be similar to what others are seeing. I can't reopen this issue, hence creating a new one.

Python Version: 2.7.6
Ubuntu Version: 14.04
gcloud Version: 0.11

Yes, and #1436.

@jgeewax Nope. It's all been catalogued in #1436.

@vsubramani I re-opened that issue for you. Let's discuss over there.

In particular, weigh in on whether you've run pip install with --upgrade and also run the suggested commands to find the google/protobuf folder and list the files contained in it

Ahh I see. The original report for #1436 started in gcloud-common
