TriBITS Python scripts do not work on some modern Linux distributions
As per https://peps.python.org/pep-0394, python
may not exist on some modern Linux operating systems. The particular one in question here is RHEL8. If you install one of the python3 packages, you do get python3
, but not python
. As per the PEP, I think it wise to discontinue use of python
, given the end-of-life of Python 2.
This specifically applies to the use of the #!/usr/bin/env python
idiom present in many of the TriBITS Python scripts. This is causing issues for the Trilinos AutoTester on RHEL8.
