Hi,

I done the upgrade to 6.10.3, and since then all my python scripts have stopped working.

 

I have tried using Nerd Tools to update the python packs, but still on the terminal python is responding
bash: python: command not found

bash: python: command not found

I can enter the python environment with python3.

 

Just for clarification, I'm trying to run

python /in/this/directory/myscript.py

 

Any help would be great, as the all my cron and manual jobs are based around python calls.

try "python3" instead of outdated "python"

 

also, after a reboot, it takes some time for the nerdpack to reastablish python availablity.

I use a "wait for nerdpack" script in my /boot/config/go file like

 

#!/usr/bin/bash
cd /boot/config/optional
cp -r RGB /usr/local/bin
cd /usr/local/bin/RGB
while  !  [ -x /usr/bin/python3 ]
do
        sleep 30
done

 

i have the python scripts in /boot/config/optional/RGB and once this wait script has finished, i lauch them with:

 

#!/usr/bin/bash
while true
do
        python3 temperature.py
        echo Wrapper wartet
        sleep 30
done

 

(this wrapper is needed because the script may lose network connection and has to be restarted after a grace period)

 

(the rename to python3 is not a mistake, python3 needs different syntaxes on many commands, it is very likely that your scripts need some updates too. So the name change prevents you to run untested outdated scripts)
