Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I got an email from a colleague this morning and it looks like they are
being asked to install METplus on a new system, comet.sdsc.edu. The system
has python3 on it, but to use it requires the command be launched as
"python3". I guess just "python" would call python2. Would this need to use
"python3" cause any problems for METplus?

Hi Mallory,
We changed run_metplus.py to use python3 from the path instead of
python if
called as an executable, so this should not be a problem. Our IT
informed
us that it is not recommended to assume python would point to python3,
so
we adjusted accordingly.
I would make sure that the version of Python3 is at least 3.6, because
the
default Python3 version on some operating systems is 3.5 and would not
work.
- George

Cool! Thanks! And is this for the latest release, version 4.0? Or is
this
also in version 3.1?

Python3 is required for v3.1 as well.
