Re: [Health] unable to use python 2 on GNU Health Server machine

[Khurram Shahzad]

Dear Luis,

Thank you so much for your prompt response.

I was able to run the GNU Health client successfully and also connected it with the server.

Thank you so much for your support.

Best Regards,

Khurram.

Both Python versions can co-exist on the system. In fact, pip2 is for
python2 and pip or pip3 is for python3.

Did you install the client using pip
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gnuhealth-client/3.2.5 )

That way you will have all the dependencies

After you've made the installation, if you want to run the server and
the client in the same host, then you can do it in different ways.

Invoke the client using python2 (ie python2 ./gnuhealth-client )

On the server side, if you want to revert to python2 as the
default python interpreter, you can revert it (ie, ln
-si /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python), and invoke the tryton server
using python3

For example :
$ cdexe
$ python3 ./trytond

That should take care of it. Let us know if that works for you.

Bests
