Unable to create custom image for dataproc

Question

I am trying to create custom image for my dataproc cluster as per this document https://cloud.google.com/dataproc/docs/guides/dataproc-images. However, it is throwing this error. could you please help ?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "generate_custom_image.py", line 419, in run() File "generate_custom_image.py", line 360, in run dataproc_base_image = get_dataproc_base_image(args.dataproc_version) File "generate_custom_image.py", line 98, in get_dataproc_base_image if stdout and isinstance(stdout, basestring): NameError: name 'basestring' is not defined

Answer 1

I've filed https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-dataproc/issues/50 to support Python 3. In the meantime, Python 2.7 is required to create custom images.
