Looking at the error message it looks like you could solve the problem by
installing Swig. However, there might be easier ways to do it. It looks like
you installed OpenBabel through Homebrew on a Mac, is that right? If so, did
you specify "--with-python", that is run the command as "brew install
open-babel --with-python"?
I think that would be the best way to install the python library on your system.
You can also try "conda install openbabel" to use OpenBabel in the Anaconda
python distribution.
Kind regards,
Fredrik
