Is there a way how to specify the GCP project for downloading some objects using the tf.io.gfile.GFile? I know it can be used like this:

import tensorflow as tf
with tf.io.gfile.GFile("gs://<bucket>/<path>") as f:
    f.read()

but this does not have any parameter for project. I know you can select active project using the CLI tools, but I want to download data from different projects. Is it possible, or do I need to use some other GCS client? If so, which is the most compatible with TF and can be most easily used in tf.function?

Buckets are unique across projects, so although you see only buckets created as a part of a project on the https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser?project=<project>&prefix=&forceOnObjectsSortingFiltering=false page, you can query it regardless of the project, so as long as you have access there, you just can access the data without specifying project.
