Errors occur when compiling tensorflow serving by bazel: Python Configuration Error: --define PYTHON_BIN_PATH='/usr/bin/python3' is not executable

I was installing the tf serving by compiling the source code.
The command line was:
$ git clone -b r1.10 https://github.com/tensorflow/serving.git
$ cd serving
$ bazel test tensorflow_serving/...
and my bazel vision is
$ bazel --version
bazel 2.1.0
The error information is as follows:
ERROR: An error occurred during the fetch of repository 'local_config_python':

Python Configuration Error: --define PYTHON_BIN_PATH='/usr/bin/python3' is not executable. Is it the python binary?
I find that in the "/usr/bin/" directory, there is not the python3 bin file.
$ cd /usr/bin/
$ ls | grep python
python
python-config
python2.7
python2.7-config
pythonw
pythonw2.7
So I change the value of PYTHON_BIN_PATH to "/usr/bin/python"
$ export PYTHON_BIN_PATH=/usr/bin/python
$ echo $PYTHON_BIN_PATH
/usr/bin/python
However, it still doesn't work.

The error message is defining the python path as '/usr/bin/python3', so adding /usr/bin/python' to the path may not matter. Have you tried linking /usr/bin/python3 to /usr/bin/python?
For example, ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

Error creating virtualenv with Python3

I'm working on Linux Mint 17 and I'm trying to create a new virtualenv with Python3 like this:
python3.6 -m venv env
And this is the error that I get:
Error: Command '['/home/ric/myprojs/django-example-channels/env/bin/python3.6', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1.
I've googled this error message but haven't managed to find anything too informative.
This is my pip version, in case it make any difference:
pip --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
I've been using Python2 for some time, but I'm new to Python3. I don't know what I may be missing.
UPDATE 1:
Answering #cezar's question, when I type  which python3 this is what I get:
$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3
UPDATE 2:
Answering #Chłop Z Lasu:
$ virtualenv -p python3.6 env

The error indicates that virtualenv is trying to make an environment in your python path. therefore, you have to specify your virtualenv destination
virtualenv -p python3.6 /path/to/yourenv

For venv and python3.6 installing venv one can use below to fix the issue
sudo apt install python3.6-venv

You gotta install the venv via code bellow:
sudo apt install python3.6-venv

Expanding on the Answer Above:
The error indicates that virtualenv is trying to make an environment in your python path. therefore, you have to specify your virtualenv destination
Since -p is a flag equivalent to --python, you can also use.
$ virtualenv --python=python3.6 /path/to/yourenv
Or
$ virtualenv -p python3.6 /path/to/yourenv

bad interpreter while attempting pip install flask

I do have Flask installed at my root directory, however whenever I change directories and run a virutalenv venv to attempt to install flask via pip install flask I receive the following error

sudo pip install flask does work but regardless after running either pip commands I immediately enter into a python interpreter and import flask with no success

As a temporary solution, try changing ownership of your venv folder and all underlying files and folders:
sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusersgroup venv
then reactivate virtualenv and try instaling flask without sudo.
Btw. if you are using sudo when creating virtualenvs, you shouldn't. Run virtualenv /path/to/virtualenv without sudo and logged in as a regular user, activate it and then pip install stuff. Hope this helps.
As a sidenote look into virtualenvwrapper project. It might make things easier for you in the future.
http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

the directory is owned by root,
you said it yourself
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3349512 Aug 15 13:11 /home/phillipsk/rampup/webapp/sql/venv/bin/python
so to do it just
sudo pip install flask

Installation issues for Virtualenv and VirtualenvWrapper in Ubuntu 13.04

Ubuntu Server in VirtualBox. I am trying to install VirtualEnv to start learning Flask and bottle.
Some details of my setup.
vks#UbSrVb:~$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="12.04.2 LTS, Precise Pangolin"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu precise (12.04.2 LTS)"

Python 2.7.3
vks#UbSrVb:~$ echo $VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON
/usr/bin/python
vks#UbSrVb:~$ echo $VIRTUALENV_PYTHON
vks#UbSrVb:~$
When I boot my Virtual Machine, I get the following error on my console
/usr/bin/python: No module named virtualenvwrapper
virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks.
If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader,
check that virtualenv has been installed for
VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python and that PATH is
set properly.
When i try to initialize a virtualenv I get the following errors
vks#UbSrVb:~/dropbox/venv$ virtualenv try1

My .bashrc entries
export WORKON_HOME='~/dropbox/venv/'
source '/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh'
Q1 - As per the error at bootup, How do I ensure virtualenv is installed for VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python and that PATH is
set properly ?
Q2 - Even with sudo I get the same "Read-only file system" Error ?
I have tried installing virtualenv using pip and then apt-get, just to hit and try.

Try setting your WORKON_HOME global to another path (~/.virtualenvs) for example a see if that works, maybe the problem is with that shared directory, are you using windows? If you are, try installing ntfs-3g, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/70281/why-does-my-ntfs-partition-mount-as-read-only
Also in my profile configuration file I like to detect first if virtualenvwrapper is installed:
if which virtualenvwrapper.sh &> /dev/null; then
WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
# path to virtualenvwrapper, in my case
source /usr/local/share/python/virtualenvwrapper.sh
fi

I had the problem where my pip was for a different version of python than the one I wanted to use.
$ python -V
Python 2.7.5+
$ pip -V
pip 1.5.4 from /usr/local/lib/python3.3/dist-packages (python 3.3)
So when I used pip to install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper, the new python packages were put in python3.3's dist-packages, so of course my python2.7 couldn't find them!
To fix this, I had to use the appropriate version of pip, in my case it was pip2.
$ pip2 -V
pip 1.5.4 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
So make sure you are using the appropriate version of pip.

Why am I getting this error (related to pip and easy_install) when trying to setup a virtualenv?

I'm trying to create a Flask application to push to Heroku. When I try to create a virtualenv in the folder, I'm thrown this error:

It seems that for some reason virtualenv is not putting everything it should be putting into the venv/bin folder. Right now, only python and two aliases, python2 and python2.7 are in there.
Thanks!

I believe this is caused by a bug in older versions of virtualenv and/or pip. It looks like you're using virtualenv 1.8.4 and pip 1.2.1. Is it possible for you to upgrade to latest virtualenv and pip (currently virtualenv 1.9.1 and pip 1.3.1)?
This should do it, if you have install privileges:
pip install pip --upgrade
pip install virtualenv --upgrade
At that point running the same command (i.e. sudo virtualenv venv --distribute) should give you what you want.
