@admvateam have you tried using virtual environment?

Try out the following: Anon-Exploiter/SiteBroker#4 (comment)

In virtualenv's command, replace it to python3 and then do pip3 install -r requirements.txt again after activating the environment.

Hey @admvateam , I completely understand the error. Have you tried the solution I provided above? Using virtualenv? It works perfectly fine with that.

Also, this is not a bug in the script, its an issue on your side. Please don't create issues for such things, and google before filing an issue.

Here's a screenshot showing vanilla installation with a virtual environment created on an AWS instance.
