can't compile armory (PyString_FromStringAndSize error)

[newuser3]

I am trying to compile armory 0.96.1 and 0.96.1.2 from sources on fedora 26 but I get this error and a lot of similar errors on different lines

CppBlockUtils_wrap.cxx: In function 'PyObject* _wrap_BtcUtils_hash256(PyObject*, PyObject*)':
CppBlockUtils_wrap.cxx:28661:17: error: 'PyString_FromStringAndSize' was not declared in this scope
     resultobj = PyString_FromStringAndSize((char*)((&result)->getPtr()), (&result)->getSize());
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CppBlockUtils_wrap.cxx:28661:17: note: suggested alternative: 'PyBytes_FromStringAndSize'
     resultobj = PyString_FromStringAndSize((char*)((&result)->getPtr()), (&result)->getSize());
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                 PyBytes_FromStringAndSize

I have anaconda installed, I don't know if this is the cause of the error

This is the list of commands that I used to compile

$ git clone https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory
$ cd BitcoinArmory
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ git checkout v0.96.1
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make

You're using python3, armory uses python2.

Thanks for your quick reply

I tried this
$ python -V
Python 3.6.1 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)
$ alias python=python2
$ python -V
Python 2.7.13

and then in the same shell where I changed alias
$ make


but I still get the same error

did I mess up something with my python installation?

Swig is trying to biuld against libpython. I'm guessing your system is pointing it at the python3 lib.

Detection for the includes is done here, maybe that will help you sort it out:
