This looks like a bad python version, try doing which python if it isn’t > 3.9 you don’t have a modern python version.
- On SL7 we suggest setting up the dunesw as shown in the example setup. alternatively you can
setup root -v v6_28_12 -q e26:p3915:prof
- On AL9 we suggest loading ROOT which brings in a modern version of python and allows xrootd access to data.
spack load root@6.28.12
