I won't be able to work on this in the foreseeable future, but I can probably 
help with the mentioned errors.

This looks valid, but probably fails if using:
 from __future__ import print_function
you can probably fix this by adding the parenthesis needed for the function 
invocation:
 print('You should add %r to PATH environment variable and reboot.' % (os.path.dirname (lib)))

This is probably failing because of a missing:
 from __future__ import print_function
at the beginning of the file (it needs to be added before any other import).

In python2 print is a statement that you use as print "Hi", in python3 it's a
function that you use as print("Hi"), using the __future__ snippet you can use 
(in python 2.7) print as a function, this is generally a good idea as it eases 
the migration to python3 process.

Happy hacking,
