Description

Shell tests running on Centos 7 started failing with the following error:

custom_cluster/test_client_ssl.py:33: in <module>
    from tests.shell.util import run_impala_shell_cmd, run_impala_shell_cmd_no_expect, \
shell/util.py:103: in <module>
    SHELL_IS_PYTHON_2 = True if (get_python_version_for_shell_env() == 2) else False
shell/util.py:96: in get_python_version_for_shell_env
    sys.exit("Could not determine python version in shell env: {}".format(str(e)))
E   SystemExit: Could not determine python version in shell env: need more than 2 values to unpack

This is impacting multiple shell tests on the core job, and it reproduces consistently. This seems to have been introduced by the fix for IMPALA-9718.
