Error when running autoperf with examples

[evaxeon]

Hi! I get the following error while running autoperf with any of the examples from autoperf/examples directory: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/autoperf", line 299, in <module> main() File "/usr/local/bin/autoperf", line 294, in main autoperf = Autoperf() File "/usr/local/bin/autoperf", line 38, in __init__ if uname['system'] == 'Darwin': subdir = 'apple' TypeError: tuple indices must be integers or slices, not str

I use Python 3.5.2, Ubuntu 16.04, CMake 3.15.2.

Hi there! Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to convert autoperf to python3, so it still requires python 2.7. If you have that, you can give it a try. I will try to find time to get it converted in the next month or so.

Hi again! I've tried launching autoperf with python2.7, but the following syntax error shows up: File "/usr/local/bin/autoperf", line 125 def get_experiment_list(self, allow_duplicates: bool = True) -> list: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This is python3 syntax, therefore this led me back to using python3. I've fixed the os.uname() function calls (which returns a tuple):
uname = os.uname()
if uname.sysname == 'Darwin': subdir = 'apple'
else: subdir = uname.machine

Still, a new error shows up:

AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'find'  

Not sure if the actual reason for this is not fully completed python3 conversion, but thought this might be helpful.
