havn't tried it out but apparently i encounted this issue in a fork repo. Seems like it is caused by not using python 3.5 it's quite outdated tbh.

❯ sudo pip install duckduckgo

fixed by installing package duckduckgo3 instead.

if you have this error or an error with the package urllib2, i found a solution:
in the "duckduckgo.py" file, replace this line:

import urllib2

by this line:

import urllib.request as urllib2

this worked for me !
