Hi,

I am trying to setup CPLEX module for Python, however, when I call python setup.py install, I receive the following error. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 70, in <module>
    main()
  File "setup.py", line 53, in main
    raise Exception(VERSION_ERROR)
Exception: CPLEX 12.8.0.0 is not compatible with this version of Python.

I use Python 3.7 and CPLEX 12.8. I was wondering which version of Python is compatible with CPLEX 12.8? Should I use 3.5 or 2.7?

Similar question is asked here https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=148e00a4-806f-4e70-88ac-4d75f9696a46&ps=25. However, I could not find the answer in the link shared there.
