python 2.7 end of life

Encountered Python 2.7 end of life problems

Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won’t be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.

Python 2.7 causes lots of bugs due to end of life. But many scripts in kali (and elsewhere) are still in 2.7. The errors not only occur for 2.7.18, also when using the current Python 3 version on kali (3.9.9). Its a mess. And pyenv was not a solution either.

Common errors:

ImportError: No module named <Package Name>
pip: command not found error

• ImportError on NetfilterQueue
• ImportError on Scapy
• BeEF unable to load extensions
