Lab2 - GitPod - CQLSH execution error

In Lab2, the command to execute the cqlsh throws an error about the Python module six.moves being not found.

The error occurs on GitPod. However, running the same command on a local installation of astra-cli works ok.

Do you know what's wrong?

• Command:

  astra db cqlsh workshops

• Error:

  gitpod /workspace/workshop-swinburne (main) $ astra db cqlsh workshops -k sensor_data
  [INFO]  Downloading Cqlshell, please wait...

Seeing the issue only now. It is related to the version of python in use. I guess the Gitpod is using something too new for cqlsh like python 3.12. A solution would be to reinstall previous version of python
