Environment

Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All Versions
Ubuntu machine running OpenStack Client with Python 2.7 virtual environment

Cause

OpenStack Client was using Python 2.7

Resolution

Deactivate the current virtual environment:

deactivate

Create a virtual environment with Python3 and activate it:

virtualenv -p python3.6 pf9-openstack

source pf9-openstack/bin/activate

Upgrade pip and then install openstackclient & designateclient:

pip install --upgrade pip

pip install python-openstackclient python-designateclient -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/requirements/stable/ussuri/upper-constraints.txt

Note: If the virtualenv binary doesn’t exist, install it with following command :

apt install virtualenv -y
