When I try to run reprozip trace file.py I am getting:

[REPROZIP] 18:29:48.443 CRITICAL: couldn't execute the target command (execvp returned): No such file or directory
[REPROZIP] 18:29:48.454 WARNING: Program exited with non-zero code 127
Configuration file written in .reprozip-trace/config.yml
Edit that file then run the packer -- use 'reprozip pack -h' for help

It was an awful mistake from my end.... forgot to call python in the command: reprozip trace python file.py

No worries! We should make this message more readable, "no such file or directory" does not make it very obvious what is going on (your script does exist!)
