This requires at least Python 3.6.

This will fail on stretch based machines when using the system provided Python as it is still version 3.5.

[Tiago de Freitas Pereira]

Yeap, but we are not supporting python < 3.6, are we?

[Samuel GAIST]

In fact, we are.

Both Linux CI machines are running stretch with Python 3.5.3.

[André Anjos]

The bootstrap script should support "python3". That is how it is called from the cmdline. The build environment for our packages is guaranteed to be 'python>=3.6', but the bootstrap has to work before that guarantee can be made.

[Tiago de Freitas Pereira]

Hey @samuel.gaist, which CI ? The base python3 in our docker (linux) is python 3.6.1.

Well, I can change the code to be python 3.x compliant, no problem

[André Anjos]

Just check beat/beat.nightlies>

[Tiago de Freitas Pereira]

ok, I saw. I'll push a fix

[Tiago de Freitas Pereira]

Fixed. I triggered beat.nightlies seems working

thanks

[Samuel GAIST]

Sorry, I didn't saw that my answer hadn't been posted. As you found out, both were concerned.

Thanks for the fix !
