AWS Serverless SaaS Workshop - Issue - Python Version -

Question

Hi,
I've been working on the following workshop - https://catalog.us-east-1.prod.workshops.aws/workshops/b0c6ad36-0a4b-45d8-856b-8a64f0ac76bb/en-US/pre-requisites/12-own-aws-account

In step 2 - Installing the Pre-requisites - you get an error regarding the Python version, even though the workshop says it installs 3.8.  If you run python --version you get 3.7.10 on AL2. I tried to fix the issue by emoving the sym links and recreate them using 'sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3.8 /usr/bin/python3' but that broke other things like YUM.

Apologize, if this is not the right forum for feedback and errors.

Anyone have suggestions on these workshops and getting them up and going?

Answer

There's a typo in the prerequisites script.  The previous version has the correct commands:

```
Admin:~/environment $ sudo alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.8 1
Admin:~/environment $ sudo alternatives --set python3 /usr/bin/python3.8
Admin:~/environment $ python3 --version
Python 3.8.5
```

The missing piece is the "1" that sets the priority for Python 3.8

You can see the previous commit here:  https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-serverless-saas-workshop/commit/b3c667ab46efff1b26e537214553001840ccbbf2#diff-98187ed6eefbc5f2a831d13c69ea2e74ac780dc49ac64774e29e0020a6e4fea4
