As of 24-Oct-2018, the currently available installation options for the software "ORG.Asm" seem to be broken to various degrees.

The installer script "get-orgasm.py" fails because it appears to require some deprecated modules and aliases:

$ python3 get-orgasm.py
get-orgasm.py:37285: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses
  import imp
get-orgasm.py:37319: DeprecationWarning: decodestring() is a deprecated alias since Python 3.1, use decodebytes()
  fp.write(base64.decodestring(ZIPFILE))
Unable to install ORG.asm on your system

The installation via the Python Package Index (PyPI) fails due to a potential incompatibility with Python3 (despite being listed for Python3 under https://pypi.org/project/ORG.asm/):

pip3 install ORG.Asm

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-xag0tm0j/ORG.Asm/

The manual setup.py installation from the GitLab repository works more or less, but only after the following manual changes to the package:

1. Comment out the following lines in file "distutils.ext/obidistutils/serenity/checkpackage.py". Otherwise the installaer will perpetually install and uninstall pip without proceeding:

#try:
#    import pip                                              # @UnresolvedImport
#    from pip.utils import get_installed_distributions       # @UnresolvedImport
#except ImportError:
#    from .bootstrappip import bootstrap
#    bootstrap()

2. Make sure that you have Sphinx version 1.4.3 installed; later versions appear to be incompatible with the installation script.

pip3 install -U sphinx==1.4.3

The manual setup.py installation works fine from then onward, but the resulting executable "oa" results in segmentation faults (which may be unrelated problems, however).
