Answer 1

What is the output of python --version in your system ?

list all pythons on your system

ls /usr/bin/python*

and then use alias in ~/.bashrc file to change default python in your system with ;

alias python='/usr/bin/python2.7'

also source ~./bashrc, afteryou added above line

Answer 2

I believe I ran into this problem too. Since lsb_release now automatically installs python3 on 16.04, the catkin_make executable sees that it exists and then tries to use it with incomplete dependencies.

I have found 2 solutions to this:

Install the required python3 libraries for catkin_make to work

sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-yaml

sudo pip3 install rospkg catkin_pkg

catkin_make

OR

Use catkin build tools and specify the python version you want to use for compiling

sudo apt-get install python-catkin-tools

catkin build -DPYTHON_VERSION=2.7
