Question about Python versions and installation

[jamiepb]

Hello,

I have both Python 2.7 and 3.7 on my computer, running Windows 7 Enterprise and with 3.7 in the environment variable. When I try to run bagit, I get an error that says: Unable to create process using '/usr/local/opt/python@2/bin/python2.7 "' I noticed that the bagit.py file in Scripts has #!/usr/local/opt/python@2/bin/python2.7 at the top, while in Lib\site-packages it has #!/usr/bin/env python. Does this have something to do with having both versions installed, or with my environment variable settings? Thanks.

Jamie

How did you install it? It sounds like the default Python version changed after the first install, so the first thing I'd try is using both the Python 2 & 3 pip executable (often installed as pip2 and pip3) to uninstall bagit and then reinstall it using only the one you prefer (hopefully Python 3).

I used pip install bagit. I did try uninstalling bagit using pip2 and pip3 and then reinstalling using pip install and then pip3 install, and still receive the same error. Thanks for your help.

It's a PyPI packaging issue, see https://github.com/LibraryOfCongress/bagit-python/issues/116

This should be resolved now if you uninstall and reinstall it
