I am having this issue as well. I changed the default python to 3.5 as well as installed CherryPy using python 3 but to no avail.

For the cherrypy issue, you need to manually install cherrypy thats greater than the error.

Type this:

cd sudo pip install CherryPy==10.2.1

It will then install cherrypy without the python error.

You can then start the set up again.

When I tried @neils84's tip, I was able to complete the installation but had trouble authorising the app via localhost:5050. I kept getting error 500 responses even though I double-tripple checked my config file. Eventually I found out the problem was with CherryPy.

It turns out the installation script forces the use of pip2, which is based on Python 2.

To solve it, I edited /src/scripts/inc/common.sh to call pip3 in the run_pip method. Everything installed fine, although I had to manually run the authorisation script using sudo python3 auth_web.py to get through.

@isilher You can also channge python2 with python 3 in the run_python script. Then you don't have to run the auth_web.py manually.

@henriz are you referring to the run_python fuction within https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi/blob/master/src/scripts/inc/common.sh ?
