Good afternoon Gents,

I've recently setup a dedicated Debian Linux 10 server for Mystic BBS.  I
installed everything using apt-get and did not custom compile anything.  My
Mystic system is running extremely well and no issues have been encountered
with the standard configuration, however when attempting to add any add-ons
such as ThreatSentry, as one example, I'm unable to execute the Python script.

I recieve the following error message during login to Mystic (being called
from the "startup.mpx" script for ThreatSentry. (This occurs for all custom
python scripts)

Error seen prior to logging into the BBS:
Python 2.7 32-bit not detected, press a key.

'sudo apt-get install python' shows the following output:
"python is already the newest version (2.7.16-1)

I'm assuming by default Debian Linux 10 installs Python 64-bit instead of
Python 32bit. 

Can someone inform me the best way to deal with this?  I would like run these
Python add-ons for Mystic, the system is dedicated to Mystic only so I have
no concerns running Python 32-bit, however I honestly don't know the proper
resolution.

Thanks in advance for your anyone's assistance with this!
