I like that idea! Will try it.
In the meantime, I am still eager to know why *source* is failing (only
with zsh and only if called from within a .sh script). And also about the
proper way to change the shell for tools accounts.

Instead of activating the virtual environment, you can
call the python
executable directly by its path, ie `venv/bin/python yourscript.py`.
This will work largely the same as activating the venv, except that
you have to always make sure to call the right executable, the shell
won't figure it out for you.

Hi all,
Starting Nov 7, a number of the jobs I would run through Toolforge grid
have
stopped working. Each job consists of a .sh file like this on the
first line of which I use the source command to activate a python virtual
environment. When I run source by hand, subsequent lines work. But when I
call the .sh file and it tries to run the source command, I get a "source:
not found" message, the virtual environment does not get activated and
indeed running which python returns /usr/bin/python which is bad. All my
scripts depend on pip packages that are installed in the virtual env and
not available with the system python.
The main thing I did on Nov 7 was to add a line at the end of my too's
account's .bash_profile as below:
exec zsh
This is because when I manually log into toolforge, I would like zsh to
be my
shell, and since tool accounts don't support chsh, I thought
executing zsh directly from bash would be okay. But apparently, that now
breaks the source command somehow.
So I wonder:
(a) Is there a way to properly change the default shell of tool accounts?
(b) Is there a way to make source work under zsh?
Importantly, I know the problem is with exec zsh because once I removed
it and
logged out and back in, all scripts worked correctly.
Thanks,
Huji
