gsutil requires python 2.6 or 2.7. Issue

Question

I was using gsutil API to connect to clusterdata-2011-2 (which is a Google cluster-usage traces of 29 days). it was worked perfectly. But after I have installed Anaconda3 , it does not work anymore.

It says that gsutil requires python 2.6 or 2.7 . Even after adding an alias in .bashrc

alias python='/usr/bin/python2/'

It didn't work

Can you please help me?

Answer 1

I suspect your alias is wrong firstly...

alias python=/usr/bin/python2.7

Feels better.

Check your PATH ie $PATH

And try and Remove the Anaconda part...

Answer 2

euh it didn't work but also i don't want to remove Anaconda cause i am working with it.. i am thinking about deploying a new VM ware machine without installing neither python3 nor anaconda

Thank u for your suggestion !!
