Issue

  • The use of the Python init script that comes with the environment modules rpm is not backwards compatible.
  • Users previously could use the following procedure to use module commands in python:
  • In shell:
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/Modules/init
  • In a python script:
import python
python.module('load intel')

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • environment-modules.x86_64 3.2.9c-4.el6
