@gtomsho, I believe you are trying to use this script with Python3, but it was created for Python2. There are a number of things, not compatible with Python3. Even if you fix the exception bit, it then generates new error which is related to files handling in Python3 - it's not possible to inherit 'file' Class anymore and it has to be done slightly differently. Basically, script needs a few modifications

Guys, we're gonna need a version 3.6. I've tried, but can't help?

@onrsz15 I change the code to support python 3.6 version
https://gist.github.com/zhongWJ/4783e74f04f7832d749f65fcd821d813

This code is for python2, don't bother to use or fix it if you're using python3.
