Failed to import HTMPredictionModelProto

Hi everyone!
I came across some issue wrt import HTMPredictionModelProto in Red Hat 7.

When I try to write my model to a new Cap’n Proto Object and convert it to byte string for storage, i use

from nupic.frameworks.opf.HTMPredictionModelProto_capnp import HTMPredictionModelProto
# learning the model
model_obj = HTMPredictionModelProto.new_message()
model.write(model_obj)
modelb = model_obj.to_bytes()

I am very glad that this works out fine on my local macOS Sierra. But when i tried to do the similar thing in Red Hat 7 inside a container, it fails with the following error message:

from nupic.frameworks.opf.HTMPredictionModelProto_capnp import HTMPredictionModelProto
ImportError: No module named HTMPredictionModelProto_capnp

I’d appreciate anyone’s suggestions on how to do “from nupic.frameworks.opf.HTMPredictionModelProto_capnp import HTMPredictionModelProto” in RedHat 7? Thanks!!!
For more info, I think I installed pycapnp, py2app and pycparser inside the container space in case I need to deal with loading .capnp file although I can not install ObjC due to the following error trace:

Thanks again for your time and patience!
