[SOLVED] Cant start docker-compose & failes on No module

Issue

We installed the docker and docker-compose on our Linux red-hat 7.2

instructions - from the link - href="https://github.com/NaturalHistoryMuseum/scratchpads2/wiki/Install-Docker-and-Docker-Compose-(Centos-7)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/NaturalHistoryMuseum/scratchpads2/wiki/Install-Docker-and-Docker-Compose-(Centos-7)

Docker is running fine

But on docker-compose we get the following ( we installed it by pip install docker-compose )

docker-compose --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/docker-compose", line 7, in <module>
    from compose.cli.main import main
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/compose/cli/main.py", line 23, in <module>
    from ..bundle import get_image_digests

    from ._compat import (
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/importlib_metadata/_compat.py", line 19, in <module>
    from backports.configparser import ConfigParser
ImportError: No module named configparser

we try many steps in order to solve the issue about docker-compose failed on No module , but without success ( each time its failed on other missing module ) any idea how to continue from this stage?

pip --version
pip 19.3.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

Solution

In my case : docker-compose didn`t support python2 But yum in CentOS not supported python3 - remember it !

For switch python version I replaced in /usr/bin symbilic link on python form python2 to python3

P.S. In CentOs i use midnight commander (mc) see screenshot
