[Python] 'ConfigParser' - Trying to build website w/ Python virtualenv

I am following the git install directions for DGScored and have run into some trouble.

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-ep5yhlfx/MySQL-python/
make: *** [env] Error 1
bash: Makefile:12:: No such file or directory

I had read somewhere that there is an issue with 'configparser' and 'ConfigParser' which stems to the Arch dilemma between Python 2.7 and Python 3.
So I followed this StackOverflow to change the Python symlinks but with no luck.

$ ls -l python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 14 20:47 python -> python2.7

$ ls -l python2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 31 02:30 python2 -> python2.7

$ ls -l python3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar  3 04:44 python3 -> python3.5

Any help understanding what I may be doing wrong, misunderstanding, and a possible solution is greatly appreciated.

Re: [Python] 'ConfigParser' - Trying to build website w/ Python virtualenv

Try changing the virtualenv portion of the makefile to specify python 2.7. I know nothing about makefiles but try changing this:

test -d .env || virtualenv .env >&2

to this:

test -d .env || virtualenv .env –p python2.7 >&2

i would delete everything and start fresh, as the makefile is testing for an existing virtualenv. if you don't delete it, it will skip making a new virtualenv (with the correct python version) and use the existing python 3 one (and fail accordingly). this might be why it continued to fail even after changing your python symlinks (which by the way seems like a bad idea to me - virtualenv exists so you don't have to do things like that).

good luck!

Never do this, messing with the symlinks will just break everything on your system. Just create a virtualenv for the interpeter version you want to use (and you really should be using python3)
