ERROR: undefined method `python' for #<Chef::Node::Attribute:0x00000003f78ef8>

Question

I am a newbie to chef. I try to install python by chef into Amazon EC2. I made a node in chef-repo/nodes folder something as mynode.com.json I have a run_list in mynode.com.json:

"run_list": [

    "recipe[python]"

  ],

Then I call:

"knife solo cook mynode.com"

I got this error:

/home/ec2-user/chef-solo/local-mode-cache/cache/cookbooks/python/attributes/default.rb:

 19:  #

 20:  

 21:  default['python']['install_method'] = 'package'

 22:  

 23>> if python['install_method'] == 'package'

 24:    case platform

 25:    when "smartos"

 26:      default['python']['prefix_dir']         = '/opt/local'

 27:    else

 28:      default['python']['prefix_dir']         = '/usr'

 29:    end

 30:  else

 31:    default['python']['prefix_dir']         = '/usr/local'

 32:  end

Is there anyone can help?

Answer 1

Use poise-python instead of python cause it is deprecated.
