Thank you very much for replying!
I actually discovered this fact late last night!
I might have realized it sooner, but I have been trying out different 
configurations on a new laptop, and I had successfully compiled Sage when I 
had MiniConda installed.
Fresh install without MiniConda, and I guess I had no Python 2.7 as a 
result, even though I had Python 3.6.
Anyway, thanks again.

Robert
