I hit this, and fixes in the linked issue didn't work -- the install process was correctly using my python2 interpreter.

In my case the issue was that the ubuntu:16.04 docker container that I was installing in didn't contain the python dev headers, which appear to be required to get compiler / parser modules.

apt-get install python-dev fixed the problem for me.

Hello, the ImportError: No module named compiler.ast error suggests something is wrong with the (conflicting?) Python installation(s) on this machine. Perhaps see #684 as it was a similar problem.
