P4run is not using 2.7 by default

After installing p4-utils, I tried to run the example using p4run. However, it seems that it is using python3 instead of python2 and the default is python 2.7.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/p4run", line 11, in <module>

python --version 
Python 2.7.12

How can I force p4run to use python2.7 instead of python3.5 ?

[edgar-costa]

weird, because the p4run script is explicitly using python2

How do you call p4run? Whats your pip version?

You are correct, pip is using python 3 instead. I managed to fix it by forcing python 2 for pip using python -m pip instead of just pip in install.sh script Thanks
