Atomic Toolkit Sabnzbd+ Python3

[stuzsabnab]

Hi All,

So I can see that sab now needs python3 and it is installed but somehow sabnzbd is picking python (2.y) unless I change the link of /usr/bin/python to point to python3.6.

I did install with the atomic toolkit which has worked well in teh past, I haven't wanted mylar for example, but now I do and I believe mylsr is 2.7.

I can see that the sab scripts have the hash-bang for python 3 but its still stating up as a python 2.7 script and failing.

Any ideas why sab does this. I'm probably missing a trick in pythong rather than sab, just don't know exactly what it is.

I'm running it on xubuntu, everything esle is as I think it need to be. Moving this to a vm rather than a little brix pc.

Any pointers gratly appreciated.

(don't really want to dockerise sab etc, CBA at the moment and I can't see any reason why this should not work like I think it should. I could probably install sab manually with better effect at this point - tht may even have been waht I did on the brix!! Was years back and don't remember.)

Both the git/source and the PPA version of SABnzbd have python3 shebang, so that should work.

If not, the first question is: does /usr/bin/python3 exist on your Xubuntu

FWIW: I don't know what "the atomic toolkit" is. On Xubuntu, Ubuntu just install the SABnzbd from the standard repository, and then from jcfp's PPA

Thanks for coming back to me.

Yeah python3 does exist and is symlinked to 3.6.
and the shebang is also in place

I'd checked those before posting, perhaps I should have said more on what I'd actually tried myself

Atomic is a set of scripts from HTPC Beginner, cmd based installer to do pretty much everything needed for sabbinbg, other stuff for sickB, couchP etc too.

So ... what is your concrete, specific question?

[stuzsabnab]

I found it. The installer had created the service file with python not python3.

TY for input, your confirmations prompted me to look at stuff I hadn't before
