a temporary workaround could be install a previous version:
!pip install looker-sdk==23.2.0
import looker_sdk

I have a fix here: #1521

For those in this thread, can you try installing the python sdk from the branch and confirm in this thread it works? The pip command should be:

pip install 'looker-sdk @ git+https://github.com/looker-open-source/sdk-codegen.git@fix_py_setup#subdirectory=python'

You'll need to uninstall the original looker-sdk in your pip first:

pip uninstall looker-sdk

The above installation instructions, or downgrading to 24.16.0 should suffice as a workaround until we release this change.

@jeremytchang - installing from that branch worked for me (I was seeing the .rtl error before)

@jeremytchang Installing from that branch fixed this issue for me too
