That's true, I'll close the issue.

$ python3 --version
Python 3.6.7

I also have python v3. The thing is the app has worked for more than two months, and a few days ago it started showing that error.

Well now it's working again.
Just for the record I solved reinstalling again the sofware with:
pip3 install packt --upgrade

Cheers
