zeekctl doesn't work with Python3 due to broken broker bindings about zeekctl HOT 4 CLOSED

This also pops up in the print function:

[zeek@zeek-box ~]$ zeekctl print Exporter::bind_port
zeek-box-logger   <error: Python bindings for Broker: No module named '_broker'>
zeek-box-manager   <error: Python bindings for Broker: No module named '_broker'>
zeek-box-proxy   <error: Python bindings for Broker: No module named '_broker'>
zeek-box-worker-1   <error: Python bindings for Broker: No module named '_broker'>

I got this working by building with --with-python=/usr/bin/python3 so that it would find a matching python3-config.

Quick question. I notice that all the linux builds including nightly require python2. Any ETA on when the dependencies for those builds will be updated to python3?

from zeekctl.

The dependencies actually depend a bit on the distribution. Especially the newer rpm-based distributions use python3 - for the apt ones I have not changed that because we have much less control for per-distribution-choosing of dependencies.

That being said - you are right - at least for nightly I should just switch it to python 3. I will do that next week.
