Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
A user can not run `dstat` when configured to use its own python installation, for example, from anaconda. The error received is:
$ dstat
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dstat", line 30, in <module>
from pcp import pmapi, pmconfig
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pcp'
for some reason pmpython is not using platform python, but the user's local python
$ which pmpython
/usr/bin/pmpython
$ pmpython
Python 3.11.4 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, Jun 10 2023, 18:08:17) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pcp-system-tools-6.0.4-2.el9.x86_64
How reproducible: 100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install anaconda python
2. conda activate env
3. dstat
Thanks for reporting the issue. What does this command report?
grep PCP_PYTHON_PROG /etc/pcp.conf
rpm -qa | grep pcp | grep python
The first should be indicating the system python, and this is what pmpython uses.
cheers.
Thank you for the response.
$ grep PCP_PYTHON_PROG /etc/pcp.conf
PCP_PYTHON_PROG=python3
$ rpm -qa | grep pcp | grep python
python3-pcp-6.0.5-1.el9.x86_64
$ which python3
/opt/miniconda3/envs/prod/bin/python3
I thought there was a mechanism to specify "platform python", but am not seeing it now. It seems like dstat should be hardcoding to /usr/bin/python3 as python3-pcp installs into /usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages
Thanks Daryl.
For PCP, you can specify the python version to be used across all PCP tools in /etc/pcp.conf - so quickest workaround for you here is to just do that for now.
Longer term though I agree a fixed-path specification would be for the best, I'll get that change made in an upcoming release.
cheers.
