I am trying to install this with python3.7 on a Ubuntu 20.04 machine.

I never tried to build the python packages with conda, what we can see in your log is that the C++ header cinttype does not contains the macros PRIx64, which are defined from C++11.
The hypothesis is then that the used compiler x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-cc uses a defaut C++ standard before 11.
The commit above is explicitely stating the C++ version to use.
If you used the source from github, can you give it a try?

[tejus26]

I still the same issue ? I tried to install it using this command:
python -m pip install 'palanteer @ git+https://github.com/dfeneyrou/palanteer#subdirectory=python'

I see std=c++11 being passed correctly though.

[dfeneyrou]

I had to revert the previous tentative because it was creating other issues (the flag was passed also to C compilation units...).
I do not understand your environment, the "PRI" macros should be present in the compiler inttypes.h header...

Old issue on obsolete Python version.
Please reopen if it still happens in newer environment.
