MtoA linux install doesn't work because of py2/3

#1

Unable to install mtoa under linux

(temp-py) […@localhost Downloads]$ sudo sh MtoA-4.0.1.1-linux-2020.run
Verifying archive integrity… All good.
Uncompressing MtoA for Linux Installer…
File “./unix_installer.py”, line 379
print “Installing CLM Licensing Components…”
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to ‘print’. Did you mean print(“Installing CLM Licensing Components…”)?

As you can see I tried to run it in a python2 environment, but somehow the script still runs the code with a python3. making a alias so python refers to a python2 interpreter didn’t work either

#2

The unix_installer.py file is written in python3 but contains an error as the print statement on line line 379 is wriiten in python2 syntax

#3

Contacted autodesk, will be fixed in the next release.
