#2525 closed defect (invalid)
RSB Python scripts may refer to Python3
| Reported by: | Darshit | Owned by: | |

| Priority: | normal | Milestone: | 4.11.1 |

Description
The RSB python scripts all have the same shebang line:
#!/usr/bin/env python
However, on certain systems, most notably Arch Linux, the default python environment is Python3. This causes all the RSB scripts to fail. Instead, a simple approach would be to explicitly invoke the Python2 environment. All systems that ship only Python2 also have the python2 symlink.
I've attached patch I made by changing all the shebang lines to python2. With these changes, I am still unable to completely build the SPARC tools on my machine. Some more Python related issues it seems. I shall debug those and either ask for further help later, or provide a patch
Do let me know if anything else is required.

Just saw the section on the RSB page that advises the usage of a virtualenv in Arch Linux. That worked out of the box for me. So please feel free to close this ticket.
However, I think that the distro / platform specific instructions available on: https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Tools/RSB
should also be replicated on https://docs.rtems.org/rsb/ which contains a full set of instructions for building RSB.
