Python 2.7 End of life announced

[sundru]

Hello,

Python 2.7 End of life announced. any plans to make all dependencies python 3.5+ ?

Reason i ask is emlidtool seems broken, have manually installed sudo pip install 'six==1.10.0 but still getting below.

sudo emlidtool ardupilot

Hi @sundru,

May I ask you to specify whether you use our current raspbian image?

[sundru]

I have the previous one, i cannot update image unfortunately.

Hi @sundru,

There are 2 ways you can resolve the issue.

The easiest one is to reflash the SD card. You can follow this guide to accomplish it.
However, in that case, all the data and configurations will be erased.

As an alternative, you can try to reinstall the six package: remove six 1.12.0 and install six 1.10.0. It’s a more complicated solution as there may appear further dependencies to install.
