Not compatible with Python3

When I am installing IBMIM, I am getting following error:

The full traceback is:

Running into the same error. Did you ever resolve this?

If I remember it correctly, I had it when I was testing installation on RHEL8.. so we switched temporarily back to RHEL7

Sadly it seems that amimof is not active any more. I send him a pull request which fixes some other bug last year, it's still not merged like many other PRs. So I continued to develop my own fork of the repository, where I fixed the lack of Python3 support. I'm currently testing this, because Python2 is EOL since 2020 so I'd like to completely move to Python3.

Maybe the fork is interesting for you since it seems you'd like to use the maintained Python3 too instead of 2.
