And then I tried to install the pmx of the development branch to be compatible with python 3 as shown below:
sudo git checkout develop
python setup.py install

And I saw the error message shown above, So how can I solve this problem?

[vgapsys]

It seems like a versioneer issue: likely it doesn't work with the latest python. Need to fix this in the future, but for now you could try using an older python version
