When I type "python" into the terminal I get the following error:



Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/encodings/__init__.py", line 100, in search_function
level=0)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 2
Description=Operations Management Suite agent
^


SyntaxError: invalid syntax



Here's the version information of my SUSE installation:

          Maybe you can try re-installing with sudo apt-get remove python, then install with sudo apt-get install python. Can you also tell me what python version you are using? If this does not work, then you can install linuxbrew and install python3.7 or python2.
