Unable to start a container - /usr/bin/env: python3: No such file or directory

While trying to start a container the jupyterhub server outputs the following:

[E 2016-01-13 09:07:42.749 JupyterHub gen:871] Exception in Future <tornado.concurrent.Future object at 0x7f50625bbba8> after timeout

Checking the Docker logs for the container reports:

/usr/bin/env: python3: No such file or directory

what image are you using?

[vroomanj]

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. I am attempting to use the image pulled from Docker Hub.

I've also got this problem, using the systemuser image

[richjoyce]

It looks like the new user created doesn't get the proper PATH variable, this is truncated output from sudo -E -u $USER sh -c export

PATH='/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin'

If I modify the script to say sudo -E PATH="/opt/conda/bin:$PATH" -u $USER ... then it gets past this error and runs the notebook but more problems occur, with a connection causing a bunch of exceptions. Not sure if this is related or not to the root issue.

[minrk]

That's probably on the right track. I bet it's a change in the upstream image.

[minrk]

This should be working after #62

[richjoyce]

I can't get it to work, either singleuser or systemuser. I had to make a modification for systemuser (#63) but when I try to login to jupyterhub the jupyter docker crashes. Here is a short version of the log:
