Problem with pep8 in WMAgent Dev

[ericvaandering]

Hi @BrunoCoimbra @ticoann

When I try to run "pep8" within our deployment I get an error

[dmwm@72d561e8d903 WMCore]$ pep8
bash: /home/dmwm/unittestdeploy/wmagent/1.1.3.pre5/sw/slc6_amd64_gcc493/external/py2-pep8/1.7.0-comp2/bin/pep8: /build/dmwmbld/srv/state/dmwmbld/builds/comp_gcc493/w/slc6_amd64_gcc493/extern: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

This comes from the fact that the python it's trying to use at the start of which pep8 is this:
#!/build/dmwmbld/srv/state/dmwmbld/builds/comp_gcc493/w/slc6_amd64_gcc493/external/python/2.7.13/bin/python

If I replace this with the standard /usr/bin/env python , everything is OK. Can you fix the RPMs please?

@BrunoCoimbra,
I am not sure how this line is set in pep8 file (/home/dmwm/unittestdeploy/wmagent/1.1.3.pre5/sw/slc6_amd64_gcc493/external/py2-pep8/1.7.0-comp2/bin/pep8)

#!/build/dmwmbld/srv/state/dmwmbld/builds/comp_gcc493/w/slc6_amd64_gcc493/external/python/2.7.13/bin/python

It looks like this is set set the rpm creation not on deploy creation.

Hi @ericvaandering @ticoann,

Thanks for reporting this issue. I've just included a fix on [1] and Lina is about to deploy it in testbed.
For a real test however you should test it on a wmagent since the problem was found there.
Could you please deploy it with the latest tag HG1705f and let me know if it works?

Bruno, there is no need to deploy it in testbed, it's not used there anyways.

This tag is going to production on Monday. I agree that it's very unlikely to break anything, but it's better to make sure the fix didn't have any side effects.
