Unable to run audit2allow located in android source code

Question

Location of audit2allow python script is external/selinux/prebuilts/bin/audit2allow

When I try to run the script, I get the following error:

I know this is an old question, but...

Was a python version issue on my machine. Changed the python link to point to python2 instead to python3 and everything worked fine. Maybe there is a more elegant solution than to (temporarily) change links, but it worked, though.
