When Ansible runs it will look for /usr/bin/python3 and use it if it finds it. Therefore we need /usr/bin/python3 to point to the desired python when packer runs. This change will hose other tasks that expect to find the system python at /usr/bin/python3, though, so we undo the change after running packer. Resolves #56.

🗣 Description
Resolves #56.
💭 Motivation and Context
When Ansible runs it will look for
/usr/bin/python3and use it if it finds it; therefore, when Packer runs we need/usr/bin/python3to point to the python executable that we installed via thesetup-pythonaction.This change will hose other tasks that expect to find the system python at
/usr/bin/python3, though, so we undo the change after running Packer.🧪 Testing
I made the same changes in cisagov/kali-packer@b3a5c6f and verified there that they resulted in the correct
python3executable being used.✅ Checklist
