    Description

      Currently the "interpreter" for the poller-wrapper.py is "python". Since more and more distros use python3 as default and this wrapper is not (yet) python3-compatible, this leads poller to stop working.

      So as long as poller-wrapper.py is not python3 compatible (it is not only that print-command is not in braces, it's also using no longer existing mysql-bindings) it might be a good idea to actually use

      #! /usr/bin/env python2

      as firstline, as this symlink should exist always (at least as long as there is a python2-interpreter installed).

            Any comments, you tried to use new wrapper?

            In r6412 added python3 compatible wrapper (separated): poller-wrapper3.py
            Try to use it (replace in crontab).

            Required additional python module:

            sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
            		 
            sudo easy_install3 pip
            		 
            sudo pip3 install PyMySQL

            Ok, as said, maybe the customers ubuntu has symlink to /usr/bin/python => /usr/bin/python3 for some other packages/needs.

            On ArchLinux the default points to:

            $ /usr/bin/env python -V
            		 
            Python 3.4.3

            and I think more and more distros are going to default to 3.X soon
