Google Cloud SDK 96.0.0: Newest version of gcloud components has broken git pushes and dev_appserver.py. How can I revert?

[Placing Literature]

After the new update git pushes are hanging and running dev_appserver.py results in an import erro:

$ dev_appserver.py .

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/me/google-cloud-sdk/bin/dev_appserver.py", line 11, in <module>

    import setup

    reload(google)

Cheers mate. Removing those square brackets did the trick!

I made the mistake of listening too closely to the messages:

Update done!


To revert your SDK to the previously installed version, you may run:
  $ gcloud components update --version [96.0.0]

Next I won't follow the instructions so literally and leave the brackets out :)
