You are using python 3, you need to be using python 2

It should be possible to address this, hence I'm re-opening the report. However I don't consider it urgent since the workaround is trivial.

[Bernd Prünster (jesusmccloud)]

just issue

postler$ sed -i "s|#!/usr/bin/env python|#!/usr/bin/env python2|g" ./waf

as a workaround in a *bash* shell, zsh does not work
