I looked at the "asma" folder and noticed that some files were touched 6 
years ago. I could deduce from this that the authors might have an older 
version, perhaps developed for an older version of python, probably for 
the 2.x versions. You could try contacting the authors to ask about 
this. Python 2.x porting would probably be easier.
