Travis-CI Linux builds broken due to Python version mismatch
100%
Description
Looks like some python or waf issue.
https://travis-ci.org/named-data/ndn-cxx/builds/253363506
https://travis-ci.org/named-data/NFD/builds/252961042
Travis have recently upgraded the Ubuntu Trusty stack that we use, see https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-environment-updates/2017-07-12
In particular, "switch language: generic from connie stack to sugilite stack" applies to our builds, and may be the cause of the failure.

The cause is a python version mismatch between root and the regular user.

Please do not revert changes without first asking and waiting for a 5-day period.
What's the connection with #2406?
The error message in ndn-cxx build is exactly the same.

So what? it's a standard python error message. The scenario and the cause are completely different.

One possible solution (verified on Travis) is to manually restore PATH before executing python. That is, instead of sudo ./waf we use:
sudo env "PATH=$PATH" ./waf
This requires changing the jenkins scripts. Would it be acceptable? Other ideas?

@Alex, are you ok with this?

This is caused by travis-ci issue 5326 and affects ndn-cxx-breaks as well.
ndn-cxx-breaks has adopted a workardound that uses system default Python for both non-sudo and sudo, which only involves changes in .travis.yml.
I recommend using the same workaround for ndn-cxx, NFD, ndn-tools, NLSR, and repo-ng.

I disagree with this solution because note-14 solution is less intrusive.

It's an unusual configuration, but I'd argue that it's not a travis bug. You can't assume that sudo PATH and non-sudo PATH are the same.

"note-14 solution" is not a solution.

20170809 approves note-10 solution.
I have no objection.
This shall be applied to all affected projects including but not limited to ndn-cxx, NFD, ndn-tools, and NLSR.
