[NLPL Task Force (A)] abel - pip3 install issue

[Asad Sayeed]

Hi Stephan,

That worked now, but then it turns out there is another problem. The 
tool we are using requires the compiling of some C++ code into a .so 
file.  Under the nlpl-tensorflow with python3, it doesn't compile 
anymore, possibly due to changes to tensorflow contrib stuff that the 
original author of the tool is depending on.  Yuval seems to have gotten 
it working on an offsite machine at his end, but it appears that I will 
still have to fall back to the python2.7 version because I am just not 
going to be able to debug tensorflow C++ code in any reasonable time.

I realize 2.7 is being discontinued but there are still a lot of 
"orphaned" graduate-student projects on github that represent 
comparatively recent results in "niche" research areas, so I don't think 
it will be possible to completely abandon support for py2.7 for a while...

Yours,
--Asad.
