Hi tianguang, welcome to the forum!

This error usually means that you’re using an unsupported version of Python. Right now, vcap and vcap-utils only support up to Python 3.6, because that’s the highest version that Tensorflow 1.x supports.

In order to install Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 20.04, I would recommend using the deadsnakes PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.6

Then, you can create a virtualenv that uses this Python executable. If you’re using virtualenvwrapper, you would do it like this:

mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.6 capsule_dev

Then, you should be able to install vcap and vcap-utils without issue. Let me know how it goes for you!
