Arch linux: Invalid Syntax Error

[obilodeau]

Local inventory file should have the following on Arch because /usr/bin/python defaults to python3:

[localhost]
127.0.0.1 ansible_python_interpreter=python2

I don't think the README suggestion done in #30 is sufficient since I knew I had python2 installed but streisand still didn't work.

I think that changing the default value of ansible_python_interpreter to python2 would be acceptable since it has been available that way for a while now but I don't know what's the story for OS X so I didn't create a pull request.

Yeah, that suggestion would work for Ubuntu as well, but I don't know if python2 means anything on OS X.

@CorbanR Can you check to see if OS X ships with a python2 command?

[CorbanR]

OSX has /usr/bin/python2.7(The only exception is if you override the local install with brew)

so

[localhost] 127.0.0.1 ansible_python_interpreter=python2 would not work as a default.

I wonder if we could add something to the striesand wrapper to detect OSX and dynamically set the proper ansible_python_interpreter=<python_version> local variable based on that?

[obilodeau]

Actually anything that would make the error more obvious that it is an
interpreter version issue would be already an improvement.

The ./streisand wrapper correctly sets the ansible_python_interpreter based on the system. I'm going to close this issue since it works as-expected on my Arch machine. Thanks!
