Python 3 support TA-metricator-hec-for-nmon

[Former user]

The metricator scripts do a hard requirement check for python 2.7. We are currently using version 1.0.11, and in our environment python 3 has our preference.

Is this currently on the implementation roadmap or is any help required to get this working (implementation / testing)?

Hi Rob,

Currently the scripts used underneath by the TA are not supported on Python 3.

An evolution is on my roadmap yes, but the work is still on going.

However, the TA is capable of using two interpreters, Python and Perl, shall the Python requirement not be covered, Perl would be used automatically.

The Perl requirements are listed here:

https://www.octamis.com/metricator-docs/requirements.html

Specifically:

Requirement	Version
Perl interpreter	5.x
Time::HiRes module	any
Text::CSV or Text::CSV_XS module	any

Generally, a Perl interpreter is available but these two librairies need to be installed, note that these librairies are available in the distribution repositories (RHEL/CentOS or Debian based) so these can be installed very easily.

Python3 support is now in latest versions of the TA.
