Unknown command: python3 in wsl

[datnguyentien1981]

I try to compile rustboot on native ubuntu 18.4. So, I think there is no need to use wsl command (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and to avoid this issue I remove wsl command.

in main.rs file (rustBoot-main/xtask/src/main.rs)

remove wsl command.
//cmd!("wsl python3 signer.py").run()?;
cmd!("python3 signer.py").run()?;

Dear Nihal

I have an issue related to wsl and python3. when i run command

wsl python3 signer.py

and issue happens as below

$ python3 convert2bin.py
$ wsl python3 signer.py
Unknown command: python3
WSL
Wsman Shell commandLine, version 0.2.1
USAGE: wsl COMMAND [PARAMS...]
COMMANDS:
identify - WS-Identify
enum - WS-Enumerate
get - WS-Get
put - WS-Put
invoke - WS-Invoke
xclean - Delete all files generated by this tool set
xcred - Create or display credential file
xcert - Get server certificate (saved to .crt)
PARAMS specification is specific to a COMMAND.
Output will be saved to ./response.xml. If you want to run parallel
executions in the same directory, define RTFILEPREFIX in the environment.
Doing so may significantly increase files generated.
Requires: curl, xmllint, GNU core utilities.
Optional: xsltproc for output formatting, gpg for encrypted credential.
Optional: wget as alternate for curl when not available.
Error: command wsl python3 signer.py failed, exit status: 1
home@home:/media/home/3BBA6BB21611231A/data/Prj_Security/SourceCode/rustBoot-main/rustBoot$ python --version
Python 3.6.9

I think python3 is not recognized in wsl even python3 is installed

Could you please support me fix issue related to wsl and python3

Just got back from my vacation. So, were you able to fix this? WSL is basically a light-weight VM that runs in Windows. We use WSL on windows as the python script has a few dependencies (i.e. imports wolfcrypt libraries) that need Linux.

Yeah, Ubuntu should work without issues. But you may need to edit the main build file in xtask to work in Ubuntu. The current implementation of xtask was only tested on Windows.
