hi, found some walk around:

1. make sure that python 2.7 is installed
2. running this on server:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.6 2
sudo update-alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python2.7

3.check default python, should be python 2.7
root@host:/etc/snmp# python -V
Python 2.7.17
