Regarding your question “Does it mean Python 3.7.4 is not supported?” According to this document:

Cloud SDK runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Cloud SDK requires Python. Supported versions are 3.5 to 3.7, and 2.7.9 or higher.

So, it seems that it is supported for the Cloud SDK installation.

On the other hand, I have found the following guide to configure the Python interpreter, it could help you to set it properly.

Also, It appears that the recommended option to install SDK on MacOS is through the interactive installer.

For Windows and macOS interactive installations, and all other use cases, run the interactive installer to install the latest release of Cloud SDK.

The steps to install it using the Google Cloud SDK installer are:

1. Enter the following at a command prompt:

curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

2. Restart your shell:

exec -l $SHELL

3. Run gcloud init to initialize the gcloud environment:

gcloud init

I hope you find this information useful.
