3.1.2 Opensuse Leap 15.5 and Python 3.6

[YoGitpp]

Hello,

My configuration

• Opensuse Leap 15.5
• Arduino IDE 1.8.19
• I add this link in my preference "https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json"
• esp8266 version 3.1.2

My distribution uses Python 3.6 and your script is compatible with Python >= 3.7

I can install other versions 3.9, 3.10, 3.11
e.g. sudo zypper install python39
or python310 or python311
But my shortcut python3 is still on Python 3.6.
For system dependency reasons, it is not recommended to change this.

For Python 3.9, I need to run the python3.9 command.

I modified the file :
/home/xxx/.arduino15/packages/esp8266/tools/python3/3.7.2-post1/python3

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
import sys

--args = ["env", "python3"] + sys.argv[1:];
++args = ["env", "python3.11"] + sys.argv[1:];
os.execv("/usr/bin/env", args)

And now it work !

Sincerely

Note the env, we select the python3 based on $PATH order. Modifying environment for IDE should fix the issue (for example, using venv. or, manually do what it does)

Another option is $ESP8266_ARDUINO_PYTHON_PATH (see earlephilhower/esp-quick-toolchain#48 and #8886), but only for versions after 3.1.2
