There seems to be a problem with how Python has been installed. Also, we do not officially support the Deepin distribution. Please post on our community forum over at http://gns3.com/community for help.
Thanks!

I'm dealing with this issue for two days. It is so frusturating for me to see the solution was too easy.
Setting a particular Python path did the trick for me. In terminal:
gedit ~/.bashrc
We need to add a python path in there. This one below did the trick for me.
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/python3.6
Please note that, I previously added codes below which didn't solve my problem. Just for warning.
#export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages
#export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/bin/python3
#export PYTHONHOME=$PYTHONHOME:/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages
