 +__20 May 2020__ 
 + 
 +Updated Chrome via yum to version 83.0.4103.61-1 and now check_envoy.pl fails. 
 + 
 +Did the following as root to fix: 
 + 
 +  # /usr/local/bin/pip3 uninstall chromedriver-binary 
 +  # /usr/local/bin/pip3 install chromedriver-binary 
 +  # /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

 +  # chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver_binary/chromedriver 
 + 
 +Re-ran the cron and script worked. 
 + 
 +Then tried looking at old packages needing an update: 
 + 
 +  # cd /usr/local/bin 
 +  # ./pip3 list --outdated 
 +  # pip_upgrade_outdated 
 + 
 +__8 April 2020__ 
 + 
 +Upgraded Chrome via yum to version 81.0.4044.92 and now check_envoy.pl fails. 
 + 
 +Did the following as root to fix: 
 + 
 +  # /usr/local/bin/pip3 uninstall chromedriver-binary 
 +  # /usr/local/bin/pip3 install chromedriver-binary 
 +  # /usr/local/bin/pip3 install pip-upgrade-outdated
      
-  # pip list+  # cd /usr/local/bin 
 +  # ./pip3 install --upgrade 
 +  # ./pip3 list --outdated 
 +  # pip_upgrade_outdated
      
 +  # find /usr -name "chromedriver" -exec ls -l {} \;
 +  
 +  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver_binary/chromedriver
 +  
 +  # chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver_binary/chromedriver
  
 +The pip upgrade moved the astral package to v2.1 which broke sun.py and it needed some major changes.  Had to work through the [[https://astral.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html|Astral]] package docs.
 +  
 +__11 December 2019__
 +
 +Upgraded Chrome via yum to version 79.0.3945.79 and now check_envoy.pl fails.
 +
 +Did the following as root to fix:
 +
 +  # /usr/local/bin/pip3 uninstall chromedriver-binary
 +  # /usr/local/bin/pip3 install chromedriver-binary
 +  # /usr/local/bin/pip3 install pip-upgrade-outdated
 +  # pip-upgrade-outdated
 +  
 +  # find /usr -name "chromedriver" -exec ls -l {} \;
 +  
 +  /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver
 +  /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver_binary/chromedriver
 +
 +  # chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver_binary/chromedriver
 +
 +Note that both **/usr/bin/pip3.6** and **/usr/local/bin/pip3.6** exist on the system now...needs to be fixed.
 +
 +
 +
 +----
 +
 +With CentOS7.7, python3 can load from base.  Do the following to fix previously-installed IUS release:
 +
 +  # yum remove python36u
 +  # yum install python3
 +  # yum remove ius-release
 +
 +  * Then follow instructions for installing local python packages to ensure all still work.  
 +  * If you have pip problems, uninstall/reinstall using instructions at https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
 +  * Ensure pip3.6 is in your $PATH or you have a sym link to it (/usr/local/bin) in /usr/bin
 +
 +__Install Python 3.6 on CentOS 7__:
 +  * https://linuxhint.com/install_python3_centos7/
 +  * https://janikarhunen.fi/how-to-install-python-3-6-1-on-centos-7.html
 +
 +Do some local configuration for my scripts (su - root):
 +  pip3.6 install --upgrade pip
 +  pip3.6 install --upgrade httplib2
 +  pip3.6 install pymysql
 +  pip3.6 install selenium-wire
 +  pip3.6 install chromedriver
 +  pip3.6 install chromedriver_binary
 +  pip3.6 install dictor
 +  pip3.6 install wget
 +  pip3.6 install pip-upgrade-outdated
 +  
 +To update all pip packages:
 +
 +  # pip_upgrade_outdated
 +
 +Note that https://pypi.org/project/pip-upgrade-outdated/ is a good resource to update all PIP packages.
 +  
 +Download and install geckodriver (see https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases)
 +
 +As root, copy geckodriver to /usr/local/bin and ensure permissions are 755
 +

 +  
 +Notes about [[https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python3/python_database_access.htm|Python database access]]
 +
 +Python3.7 on Fedora 28:
 +  * dnf install python37
 +  * wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
 +  * python3.7 get-pip.py
 +  * python3.7 -m pip install requests
 +
 +Use "pip" to manage python packages:
 +
 +  # yum install python2-pip
 +
 +To list installed python modules:
 +  
 +  $ pip list
