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.
