>             Project: Ambari
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Andrew Onischuk

> We had an issue where the root user's ~/.bashrc file had Python 3 in the PATH.
> We blindly tried to execute tasks and hdp-select blew up with a syntax issue.
> The vast majority of our tasks will fail with python 3 and as users start to
> more heavily adopt newer version of python for data science tasks there is
> risk that they will leak into being used by our user accounts, specifically
> root for root agents, and the non-root user for non-root agents.  
> I would propose that we check the version of python before attempting to start
> the ambari-agent, and fail with a non-zero exit code if we detect a non-
> compliant version.
