Help with SABnzbd 3 and python + Systemd

Post by sabuser2020 »

I have an issue where my systemd will no longer let me start sabnzbd. It says I need to have phython3.5 or above. I already do, and I can actually run the SABnzbd py manually without issue.

My guess is that it has something to do with the /usr/bin/python still trying to use python 2.7, but I thought I made the base version 3.6.9. So it's confusing.

d'oh, I solved my own problem. I am pointing /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python3 instead!
