Closed Itsmmai closed 4 years ago

Itsmmai commented 4 years ago

Hi for nzbget working with a script I need a newer python version. Now it tells me: nzbToSickBeard: Please use a newer version of Python. CUrrent Python version is 2.7 and I need at least 3.x can you update or tell me how to update?

Kind regards, Abel

This is what i did as a temporary work around.

docker exec -it $nzbget_container_name apk add python3 docker exec -it $nzbget_container_name ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python --force

Python is a bit of a mess at the moment, some projects have been updated to python 3, some are still in the midst of migration, the approach we're currently taking is to include python2 and python3 if the underlying project and it's common plugins/scripts.

Looks like nzbtomedia has done some backtracking from it's python2 to python3 migration. New release 5 mins ago adds back python2 compatibility

https://github.com/clinton-hall/nzbToMedia/releases

So, bottom line, container already has python 3 now, and the scripts causing the issue have been reverted to continue to support python 2.

So, if you wish to migrate to python 3 I wonder if the shell override is the way forward to avoid getting down and dirty with the terminal.

I can confirm that adding ".py=/usr/bin/python3" to the shelloverride option in extension scripts works.

I guess we should add the override option in the readme so we can close out this issue.
