Error running make_checkpoint.py

When running python3 make_checkpoint.py I get the error ImportError: No module named 'xdg'.
After installing it with pip3 install pyxdg I get the following error when trying to execute make_checkpoint.py:

root@710e3f9a8769:/bachelorarbeit/robust_audio_ae# python3 make_checkpoint.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/root/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/absl/flags/_flag.py", line 181, in _parse
    return self.parser.parse(argument)
  File "/root/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/absl/flags/_argument_parser.py", line 114, in parse
    type(argument)))
TypeError: flag value must be a string, found "<class 'int'>"

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    'flag --%s=%s: %s' % (self.name, argument, e))
absl.flags._exceptions.IllegalFlagValueError: flag --coord_retries=100: flag value must be a string, found "<class 'int'>"

I run it with different versions of python, deepspeech, tensorflow and xdg. I also tried to run it in virtualenvs and docker, but I always get the same error message.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I solved it by changing the value 100 to '100' (string instead of int) in DeepSpeech/DeepSpeech.py.
