I run into the same issue as well on a new Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, when installing the pip package hermit:

# system dependencies
$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-venv libzbar0
$ python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

# set python3 as default, just to be sure as bin/hermit uses "#!/usr/bin/env python"
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 1

# install
$ python -m venv ~/hermit-env/
(hermit-env) $ cd ~/hermit-env/
(hermit-env) $ python3 -m pip install hermit

# run
(hermit-env) $:~/hermit-env$ hermit

(can provide full logs if helpful)

Although there is not error message clearly stating this, it seems that Python 3.7 is required (see setup.py). I use the default versions of this Ubuntu release: Python 3.6.9 and pip 20.0.2. An update to Python 3.7 is tricky and not really supported.
