Sample project “hello-world” project is showing ERROR while trying to run on App engine

I am trying to deploy the "Hello, World!" for Java on App engine for Managed VMs Java 8 and facing the below listed error while running mvn gcloud:deploy. I did not face any issue while running it on my local machine (mvn jetty:run). Can someone please point me on what am I doing wrong?

Solution

As mentioned installing Python and adding it to path did not help. I followed two things to make it work:

Followed the link to add .PY extension to PATHEXT variable and edited PATH to add gcould - C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\lib\gcloud

Also edited PATH to include Python path that came bundled with the google SDK - C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\bundledpython;

I then ran into issue with Google SDK location which was solved by adding the configuration to my POM.xml:

<plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
        <artifactId>gcloud-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.9.95.v20160203</version>
        <configuration>
            <gcloud_directory>C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Cloud SDK/google-cloud-sdk</gcloud_directory>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.6</version>
        <configuration>
          <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
