Python messages when launching app from clean shell

If I launch a Monitor or Slave from a (really) clean shell, I get these echoed at startup

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix> Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]

Any idea what’s going on, or why anything in Deadline would be dependent on an external Python interpreter?

These messages have been around since v5.1 when we added native python support. They don’t seem to cause any issues, so we’ve never looked to hard into removing them. It’s listed as a low priority bug.

Turns out it was pretty easy to fix this. It will be fixed in beta 12.

Yeah, they definitely haven’t caused any problems, but they just made me wonder if I would eventually run into an edge-case crash or exception because something wasn’t being properly found. Glad it’s an easy fix though.
