gvm-cli raises an exception right while starting with error invalid syntax

Expected behavior

Starting gvm-cli just starts gvm-cli.

Current behavior

Right while statring gvm-cli gives an exception with error invalid syntax:

# gvm-cli
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/gvm-cli", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('gvm-tools==2.0.0.dev1', 'console_scripts', 'gvm-cli')()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 487, in load_entry_point
    return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2728, in load_entry_point
    return ep.load()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2346, in load
    return self.resolve()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2352, in resolve
    module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gvm_tools-2.0.0.dev1-py2.7.egg/gmp/clients/cli.py", line 212
    '--socketpath instead', file=sys.stderr)
                                ^

Hi, both python-gvm and gvm-tools require python >= 3.5. We don't support python 2.

[tps800]

In this case it would be best to change the chbang in all tools requiring python3 from

#!/usr/bin/python

to

#!/usr/bin/env python3

This way python3 would be used as long as it could be found within PATH.

[tps800]

I've changed the shbang to #!/usr/bin/env python3. Python reports version Python 3.7.2rc1

But:

# gvm-cli

    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'gvm-tools==2.0.0.dev1' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Something else must be missing too ...

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'gvm-tools==2.0.0.dev1' distribution was not found and is required by the application

I guess something is mixed up in your installation. gvm-tools 2.0.0.dev1 is an old version from master branch. Also the package name should be gvmtools nowadays.

Btw. if you are installing from git/github it will be easier for you to use pipenv for installation and handling dependencies. If you are installing from pypi please use pip.
