Hey,
were you able to solve this issue.
I am also getting same error

[kodelogue]

No. I don't think so. I think I ended up using something else.

which other software did you use?
I am using predixcan predictdb model to train my datasets

[kodelogue]

I don't remember off the top of my head. It's been about a year now since I ran into this issue. I'm not even sure which project I was working on when I came across this error.

The problem is that Python 2.x syntax is used in a Python 3.x environment.

For example, in:
~/peer/cmake/FindPythonLibsDist.cmake
print sysconfig.get_python_inc()'"
should be:
print(sysconfig.get_python_inc())'"
I think there are 3 files in cmake that need to be modified
