Unable to run

[dfermin]

Hello.
I'm trying to run SPLICE-q on one of my samples but it continues to crash.
The command I execute is:

SPLICE-q.py -g ../conf/human.GRCh38.ensembl_rel107.gtf -b sample_001.bam -p 8 -o sample_001.txt

This is the output I get:

(py36) [dfermin@Lnx67 SPLICE-q]$ SPLICE-q.py -g ../conf/human.GRCh38.ensembl_rel107.gtf -b sample_001.bam -p 8 -o sample_001.txt

I have verified that my input files are not corrupt.
Any suggestions what might be wrong?
Thanks
