Sql-docs: Setup script doesn't work with Python 3.7

[Bscout2011]

The setup script says it's built to run on python 2, but my default python is python 3. How do I change this?

make a symlink for my python bin path as described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/637848/how-to-reset-python-path-to-usr-bin-python

@Bscout2011 Hi. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I see what script you're referring to? Thanks!

[rothja]

@Bscout2011 Do you still need some help on this issue? If so, can you let me know some more details about your scenario? Thanks!

[Bscout2011]

No, I solved it. It had to do with setting a linked library to the python3.7 path

Regards,
Andrew Washburn

I've got the same issue - how could I solve it? Thanks in advance!

[rothja]

@kosist, could you give me the exact error you're seeing? Is this when you run mssql-conf setup? Thanks!
