Import orionSDK. Odd error happens - every exactly half the time.

krysus

On new redhat machines 8.x. I have the following commands and the first time I run it. It's an error. Next time. It works. Time after on same machine, same error?

How do I get this to work each time?  Odd as nothing else changes. Repeated it dozens and dozens of times.

Solved it.  Ended up having to 'install orionsdk' in one python script and then import it.  Why? No idea. I didn't want to mess with the path, so had one script call the install, and call the next script in line. It then was able to use the import without a problem. Possible other solutions that worked was manually copying it to the current directory, and the other was to install it on the machine 'image' that was being used. Didn't want those, but they did work just fine also.
