Hi all.

 

We also have a couple of users reporting this “python-issue”.

 

Will this be addressed anytime soon?

Subject: [[cat-users]] Linux Config Script

 

Dear All
I have found an issue in the eduroam installation script from https://cat.eduroam.org/, selecting linux, in line 271, in the command: python << EOF > /dev/null 2>&1

This assumes that the command "python" calls "python2", but since about 2008 there is python 3, and on my arch linux this is the default. But you can still explicitly call python2 with the command python2. Calling it with python3 leads to the error "opening brackets expected after print" (after enabling output)

Another minor issue is, that all the output is pasted to /dev/null, so i had quite some trouble locating the error because i had to fully read and edit the 300+ line script. It would be easier if you'd paste it to a log, or at least define a var named $out that you per default set to /dev/null.

The script i downloaded for my uni (JKU LInz) is in the attachment - and after changing it from python to python2.
