python3 --version

Python 3.8.2

Sorry, forgot to update. Yes, it is definitely related to the python version. I updated to a newer ubuntu (18.04 -> 20.04) which has a newer python and the problem went away. So if there's no need to support the older python version then can probably close this issue with will not fix.

Should we anticipate support for 3.6.9?

looks like this was fixed by https://github.com/dustinkirkland/python-petname/commit/815e50afa74eb8aa743cdda145967fa36fe01af8 -- just needs a pypi release
