You need to run SWIG before running setup.py, as described in the README. This generates the "swigged" files that setup.py compiles.

Oh, I should have run python3 developer/build_swig.py system. Now it is compiling. Thank you!

Is having to run SWIG a big hassle for packaging? If there's anything I can do to make a packager's job easier I would welcome suggestions.

I haven't included the SWIG generated files in the GitHub repository as they're quite large and not really source files. If I added them people would not need to run SWIG at all.

I think it is fine as it is.
