Error on computer without python2

[drdhaval2785]

I recently configured the local installation in a new computer. It has only python3, and not python2. When I ran the generate_dict.sh script for the SNP dictionary, I got the following error.

remaking snp.sqlite from ../snp.xml with python...
redo.sh: 4: python: not found

I tried doing alias python=python3 in .bashrc file. It did not work either. Same error was there. I think majority of our code is either python3 compatible or in python3. python2 has also reached end of life and is not supported further. Time to change to python3.

It should not be an issue if we explicitly write python3 instead of python in the following code at https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/csl-pywork/blob/master/v02/makotemplates/pywork/sqlite/redo.sh .

sqlitedb="${dictlo}.sqlite"
xml="../${dictlo}.xml"
echo "remaking $sqlitedb from $xml with python..."
python sqlite.py $xml $sqlitedb
echo "moving $sqlitedb to web/sqlite/"
mv ${dictlo}.sqlite ../../web/sqlite/

Full log is as below.

After making change from python to python3, the regeneration did not give any error.

Thus the change is accordingly made.
