shutil.rmtree() gives FileNotFoundError when multiple processes are running

[ljmills]

When I run multiple instances of gtex_rnaseq_V10.sif on the same node I get the following error:
Jan 10 10:54:05 ..... started mapping
Jan 10 10:58:40 ..... finished mapping
Jan 10 10:58:45 ..... finished successfully
Traceback (most recent call last):

This seems to be an issue with shutil.rmtree() that has been fixed in later versions of python. Would it be possible to update the version of python in gtex image? The image works fine if there is only 1 instance running on a node but as soon as I have multiple I get this error every time.
