Resolving Python Version Errors in AutoSys: A Step-by-Step Guide

When attempting to execute a Python script within AutoSys, encountering version errors can be a common issue for developers. This predicament often stems from AutoSys defaulting to an older version of Python, preventing the script from functioning as intended.

In this guide, we’ll explore how to troubleshoot and resolve this problem – specifically, how to change the Python version being called by AutoSys to ensure your scripts run smoothly.

Understanding the Problem

The issue here is that AutoSys is invoking an outdated version of Python, which may not support the features used in your script. For instance, if your script is written for Python 3.8 and AutoSys is defaulting to Python 2.7, it will lead to incompatibility errors.

Solution Steps

Let’s break down the solution into straightforward steps to help you set the correct Python version for your AutoSys job.

Step 1: Check the Python Version on the Host

First, you need to verify which versions of Python are available on your system. This can be achieved using the following commands in your terminal:

The command which python shows the path of the default Python interpreter.

The command which python3 indicates the path for Python 3, which is the version you want to use.

Make sure to note both paths from the command output.

Step 2: Update AutoSys Job Attributes

Now that you have verified the Python installations, the next step is to modify the job definition in AutoSys to use the correct interpreter. You’ll need to specify the full command to invoke Python 3 in the job configuration.

You can update the job command as follows:

In this snippet:

Replace YourAutosysJobName with the actual name of your job.

Adjust /absolute_path/python_script.py to the full path of your Python script.

Final Check: Test the Configuration

Once you've made these updates, it's important to run the AutoSys job again to confirm that it now uses Python 3. If everything is set correctly, your script should execute without the version-related errors.

Conclusion

Running a Python script from AutoSys can sometimes present challenges, particularly regarding version compatibility. By following the steps outlined above, you can adjust the Python interpreter to match the requirements of your script, ensuring a smooth execution.
