Solved!  
It seems Appium Python client issue, we need to modify two functions in “appium.webdriver.common.touch\_action.TouchAction”

long\_press(self, el=None, x=None, y=None, duration=1000)  
and  
\_get\_opts(self, element, x, y)

Modify them like this:

```
def long_press(self, el=None, x=None, y=None, duration=1000):
    self._add_action('longPress', self._get_opts(el, x, y, duration))
    return self

def _get_opts(self, element, x, y, duration = None):
    opts = {}
    if element is not None:
        opts['element'] = element.id
    # it makes no sense to have x but no y, or vice versa.
    if x is None or y is None:
        x, y = None, None
    opts['x'] = x
    opts['y'] = y
    if duration is not None:
        opts['duration'] = duration
    return opts
```
