That is a 10 year old code

And the code was written when Python 2 was default and that has evolved to Python 3 now.

so theres no way to fix it?

Probably as the libraries has been updated to python 3

Look for the information you want

Check whatever code you want to run with the updated libraries and Python 3

Or just degrade your to python 2, but it may have security flaws, beware of it when connecting it to the internet.
