Hi Bill,

Is it possible your default Python version is Python 3? (You can check by running "python -V" in a terminal.)

ESP-IDF requires Python 2.x at the moment (we will be adding Python 3 support soon). You can change the Python interpreter in use under "make menuconfig" -> "SDK Tool Configuration" -> "Python 2 interpreter" and change "python" to "python2".

Hi Angus:
You are right! The python version of esp-idf was 3.5 at that time, I changed the python version to 2.7. It was successful building.
Actually, there were many python versions in my workspace, I tried to use pyenv to control them, I just modified one folder's python
version to 2.7 use "pyenv local" command, so it builded wrong .

Best reguards.
From Bill.
