Not an actual bug. I had the same issue when running using python3.

You need to ensure python2.7 is installed, I can't seem to see this within the ReadMe or the requirements docs, correct me if I'm wrong. So you'll need to do the following:

Install the correct version of Python
sudo apt install python2.7

Explicitly run the script using version 2.7
python2.7 theZoo.py
