Hi,

I’m trying to restart a CM2 configuration where I replaced the hh5 conda environment with the xp65 environment in `suite.rc`. E.g. [see this post](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/issues-when-transitioning-from-hh5-to-xp65-in-suite-runs/4544).

I get an error message for `ocean_ke_check`which I assume is related to the switch. From the job.err file:

```auto
  File "/g/data/hr22/apps/cylc7/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 365, in _init_posix
    _temp = __import__ (name, globals(), locals(), ['build_time_vars'], 0)
ImportError: No module named _sysconfigdata_x86_64_conda_linux_gnu

```

Is there another place where I need to update to xp65? Is the environment not consistent with the cylc7 python version?

Thank you,  
Wilma

Try an older version of the xp65 conda environment - [Analysis3-25.06 onwards incompatible with cylc7 - General - ACCESS Hive Community Forum](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/analysis3-25-06-onwards-incompatible-with-cylc7/5166)
