It looks like this.

Here reportbug uses modules from the default system Python3:

and now here all of a sudden it uses modules you installed into ~/.local :

This doesn't seem sound, I guess this custom Python version is probably
the culprit. Maybe some environment variable messes with your Python-path?
What do you get if you do the following:

$ python3
Python 3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39) 
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python35.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.5',
'/usr/lib/python3.5/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu',
'/usr/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pdoc3-0.6.1-py3.5.egg',
