On the first step of executing conf.py

[cindyisok]

Hi, when I executed the first step swot_simulator conf.py, there is an error raised.
AssertionError - Traceback (most recent call last):

This was happened on different environments and different computers. I wonder if the code needs to be modified mannally to fix up it. Thanks very much if you could help with us.
