Failed to installed parts library

[skoroneos]

Greetings
After doing a pip install (python 2.7.15, ubuntu 16.04) i tried to do an import to see if the parts file would be autogenerated and got this message

any idea what is the problem ?

I've deprecated python 2.7 support (even though it probably still works), so try it with python3 first. but hte problem lies with the ldraw-license.txt file, it's not being distributed in the package, my bad, I'll fix that.

I just had a try with the package as well with python 3.8 and I experienced the same error.

I had the same error. Creating a file "ldraw-license.txt" in my project directory helped.
I ran into the next error though:
