[FLINK-6384] [py] Remove python binary check via additional process The PythonStreamer used to check for the existence of the python binary by starting a python process. This process was not closed afterwards. This caused the PythonPlanBinderTest to fail locally. I think the check whether a python binary exists is not necessary since the subsequent python command would fail anyway if there is no binary available on the system. The system failure message is that there is no such file or directory. This error message should be descriptive enough in order to debug such a problem. cc @zentol You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/tillrohrmann/flink fixPythonStreamer Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3774.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #3774 ---- commit 746fe59737338c02502443c5c3e88c613d0b92ad Author: Till Rohrmann <trohrm...@apache.org> Date: 2017-04-25T18:41:58Z [FLINK-6384] [py] Remove python binary check via additional process The PythonStreamer used to check for the existence of the python binary by starting a python process.
