TL;DR: pip3 install pydot3 / pip install pydot3
I found that this repro doesn’t work in Python 3.x and made a quick fix to be Python 3.x compatible and made it accessible via pip install.
That’s because the version on PyPi is not (yet) compatible with Python3. I see there is a pull request (#106) pending for Python 3.5 support.
Check out https://github.com/nlhepler/pydot for a Python3 compatible version.
