Hi,
This creates problems with sytems that have python3 default (like mine), because newt/snack (fancy graphics configuration) needs python2, at least until next release.
The first fallback option if newt is not found is the "dialog" utility, which provides an user interface that is almost as fancy as with newt. Only if dialog is not found, the plain text interface is used.
I suggest you install dialog a give it a try.
The following change fixes the issue for me: tools/config.py: -#!/usr/bin/env python +#!/usr/bin/env python2
If the fallback to the dialog utility really does not solve your issues for some reason, then I won't object such a temporary change.
On the other hand, if the dialog utility works on your system, I will be against this change. I am not sure how far the python2/python3 naming convention goes and this change would simply create an inconsistency among our Python scripts. I mean, it is always better to have a script with degraded user interface than a potentially non-executable script.
