Answer 1

The fix has been pushed to Github, the new version did

pip install --user --upgrade pillow,

which doesn't have the '--disable-jpeg' option. It seems that the new version of Pillow fixed the issue mentioned in Fail during installation of Pillow (Python module) in Linux and removed the option.

Answer 2

I had the same problem and I solved it. The error came from Pilow. First you should install Pillow seperately: (with sudo)

sudo pip install --upgrade pillow

Then you run again the command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloudml-samples/master/tools/setup_cloud_shell.sh | bash

Everything will be ok.
