You are mixing swig from the base with python from miniconda3. I just
upgraded miniconda3/python to 3.7.4 on GPU8 and I installed for you
swig-3.2.1

root at gpu8$ pwd
/opt/miniconda3/bin
root at gpu8$ ./swig -version

SWIG Version 3.0.12

Compiled with x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-c++ [x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu]

Configured options: +pcre

Please see http://www.swig.org for reporting bugs and further information


I am CC-ing users as I am sure you are not the only one who is confused
about these things.
