I have the following reply from the creator of PyPE (Josiah Carlson).
The
solution for running PyPE2.1 from the source is:

"replacing line 1152 with the following 4 lines:

                            if isinstance(v, dict):
                                self.config[nam][k] = dict(v)
                            else:
                                self.config[nam][k] = v "

Once I done the replacement as suggested above, PyPE2.1 can run from
the
source now. Thanks Josiah !
