Scons error even when I change my python version to 2.7.5

[abhishekk06]

Any idea what went wrong I did change my python version to 2.7 but for some reason still hit the same error while trying to run SCONS.

->/home/mdl/azk6085/CSE530/zsim$ export PYTHON=python2
->/home/mdl/azk6085/CSE530/zsim$ python --version
Python 2.7.5
->/home/mdl/azk6085/CSE530/zsim$ scons -j16
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
File "/home/mdl/azk6085/CSE530/zsim/SConstruct", line 11

print "Building " + type + " zsim at " + buildDir

                ^

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("Building " + type + " zsim at " + buildDir)?

This is likely happening because scons might be using python3 default. You can confirm this by checking the first line of /usr/bin/scons reading #! /usr/bin/python3

Try using python2 `which scons` -j16 to build

Similar issue with gem5

Got it. Thanks.

Now I see some error while trying to run "simple.cfg" by any chance are you able to run it?
