[Solved] python3.7 throws 500, but python2.7 works

[logdog]

I'm on johnny.

both files in cgi-bin w/ 755

 

This  (lf37.py) gives me 500 error

#!/usr/bin/python3.7

 

print("Content-Type: text/html\n\n")

 

print("Heliohost rules!")

 

 

This (lf27.py) works

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys

 

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"

 

print "Heliohost rules!\n\n<BR>" 

print sys.version_info

 

Please advise.

The difference is lf37.py has dos line endings, and lf27.py has linux line endings. This usually means that you created the lf37.py file on a windows computer and then uploaded it. To avoid a 500 error you must make sure your files have linux line endings. I've never used it myself, but I've heard the windows program notepad++ can save files with linux line endings. I'm sure there are others as well.

Thanks!

That explains a lot.

 

I was creating some files on Windows and some locally in cpanel/editor, thus the mixed results.
