'pyfli' has no attribute 'FLIOpen' on ubuntu server 16 python3

I am doing what I thought was correct to install and setup the python wrappers for the finger lakes.
I did gcc install, python header install and kernel header install also i additionally made sure numpy was installed. It required me to install python3 . So I created a virtualenv in python3, and did a sudo pip3 install of numpy. Then I did the instructions for building and installing the python wrapper. I see no errors (some warnings) here and there but no errors.
So a simple app fails with the 'pyfli' has no attribute 'FLIOpen':

import numpy as np
from pyfits import PrimaryHDU
import pyfli as fli

from sys import argv, exit, stdout
from time import sleep

dev = fli.FLIOpen ('/dev/fliusb0', 'usb', 'camera')

ret = fli.setImageArea (dev, 0, 0, 512, 512)
dev = fli.FLIClose (dev)

About the only thing I have changed was inside the .py files they had a:
#!/usr/bin/env python

that I removed, because with that in there it kept trying to use my systems python2 I think?

Ugh, ignore me I believe I was on ubuntu and had to install the libusb . Seems now to just complain that no such file or directory exists which makes sense since it is not plugged into the guider cam at all.

Thanks for the feedback, I hope you find the software useful. I don't maintain it anymore, I'm long retired and no longer have the camera, but am still open to applying fixes.

I'm curious if Finger Lakes has updated their software, it has been a long time.

Thanks for the reply! I suspect a lot of people (Especially observatories still use this software, I know we do for sure). Is there a more modern and maintained alternative I wonder? As far as Finger Lakes, it seems to be updated and working with ubuntu server 16, but I had no dice getting it to compile under ubuntu server 18. Though this isn't my strong suite and I might of just did something foolish.
