Problems with "Introduction to tf2" Tutorial

I'm trying to run through the Introduction to tf2 tutorial provided here. I've installed all of the dependencies successfully, or at least without error; however, when I run the launch command I see this:

roslaunch -v turtle_tf2 turtle_tf2_demo.launch 
... logging to /home/chainley/.ros/log/ec83aa5a-fc77-11ec-be1e-d963878005dd/roslaunch-20079-4907.log

At first I thought it might be an error of permissions, so I navigated to the offending scripts and entered:

$: sudo chmod u+x turtle_tf2_broadcaster.py
$: sudo chmod u+x turtle_tf2_listener.py

That didn't fix it, so I also tried:

$: sudo rosdep fix-permissions

That didn't work either. On further investigation, my system doesn't have the folder listed in the error; /usr/bin/env doesn't actually exist. Not sure what to do about that.

Any suggestions?

Turned out it was an issue with python on my machine. I ended up running

$: sudo apt install python-is-python3

And then cleaned up my aliases as well:

$: alias python=python3

Now the tutorial demo is working!

I added it as an answer, but I can’t accept it because I don’t have enough points?
