ros scripts and python related error

Any ros script I run roslaunch roscore..etc. Is this a mismatch having both python2.7 and 3 installed or is there somthing else. And how would I go about resolving this issue. Thank you for your time.

Hey. Were you able to figure this out?

I think from File "/usr/lib/python2.7 and /usr/lib/python3 appearing in the same error message we can conclude that this is indeed a mixing problem of Python 3 and 2.7. That is never going to work.
