My system already has Python3:

[gumley@bolt modules]$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3
[gumley@bolt modules]$ python3 --version
Python 3.6.8

Liam,
Well, you could try running with python3 - or update again :grin:.  I've put in a minor change the should resolve the issue with using python 2.7.5

Sean

Edit:  Ultimately, you'll want to use python3 anyway.  The next major release of SeaDAS (and the underlying OCSSW code) will not support python2.  We won't intentionally break things that currently work with python2, but neither will we bother making sure updates work with it.  We're moving on and not looking back.

Sean, I just did a completely new install from scratch. Software install works, but it still fails when installing Aqua LUTS. The error message is different as shown below:

Installing aqua-luts (14 of 17)

Liam,

Try one more time.  I had missed one "with context" that needed wrapping to make python2 happy.

Sean

Success!. See below for the tail of the stdout from running the following install workflow this morning (Thu Jan 30 16:33:52 UTC 2020) on CentOS 7.7 64-bit:

curl -O https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/ocssw/install_ocssw.py
chmod ugo+x install_ocssw.py
./install_ocssw.py --verbose --install-dir=$PWD/ocssw --terra --aqua --viirsn --viirsj1

Installer output follows:
