You are building with python 3.  Maybe the default python on F22 has
changed from python 2 to 3.  If that is the case, you should explicitly
require python 2.  The alternative would be to write a patch introducing
future (see below).

To make sure the same source works with both python 2 and 3, you will
need to use future.  See this SO answer to understand how to do this for
print: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7075121

Hope this helps,
