Looks like it's complaining swig is not installed. I'm on Mac and have homebrew installed. So I ran the follwing commands to install the swig:

      brew update
      brew install https://raw.github.com/cobrateam/formulae/master/swig.rb

After swig is installed, install m2crypto:
      pip install m2crypto

That fixed the problem.

Then

You can just use brew install swig to install swig

Not working now. installed old version

pip install M2Crypto==0.21.1

@arunbhardwaj you solution works, thx.

sudo apt install swig
ubuntu use the fixed.
