Re: [IBMiOSS] Python, ACS, Open Source and MKDocs

Yeah, I kinda figured that leading dot was important, I didn't think you typed it by accident.  :)  But since I didn't know *why* it was important, I didn't want to blindly do it.

Magically I now show 3.4.10 as my python version.  Until I exit and come back into QSH, as I would expect.  Very nice, and I learned something.

It ran, but a subsequent execution of python --version gave me 2.7.16,
not the 3.4.10 I was hoping.

You missed the leading "dot"
*. /home/MYPROFILE/myenv/bin/activate*
"Dot" in the shell standing alone before a script means "source" the
script, that is, "run the script in the current image of the shell so any
variable sets it does persist when the script is done".
