Checking additional envirnoment variables

Checking for PYFOAM_DIR : Location of the PyFoam-installation. Not strictly necessary
PYFOAM_DIR missing from environment

Checking for PYFOAM_SITE_DIR : Location of non-PyFoam-disctributions script. Set and used by some Foam-distributions

If I run pyFoamPVSnapshot.py:

Executing PVSnapshot with pvpython trough a proxy-script options: 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/pyFoamPVSnapshot_7ow4923h.py", line 2, in <module>
    from PyFoam.Applications.PVSnapshot import PVSnapshot
  File "/home/robin/miniconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/PyFoam/Applications/PVSnapshot.py", line 240
    print "Say:",
               ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'
Error: Return code  1 executing /tmp/pyFoamPVSnapshot_7ow4923h.py

When I change the print statements to python3:
print("Say:", end="")
then the following output:

Executing PVSnapshot with pvpython trough a proxy-script options: 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/pyFoamPVSnapshot_ctwjfyoc.py", line 2, in <module>
    from PyFoam.Applications.PVSnapshot import PVSnapshot

    from PyFoamApplication import PyFoamApplication
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyFoamApplication'
Error: Return code  1 executing /tmp/pyFoamPVSnapshot_ctwjfyoc.py

although I have set my PYTHONPATH correctly (I guess..)
So, how to solve this?
This should not happen at all, should it?
