Failed to test icsd-queryer: TypeError: load() missing 1 required positional argument: 'Loader'

On Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, I try to test icsd-queryer with the following steps but failed:

$ pyenv shell 3.8.3
$ pyenv virtualenv --system-site-packages icsd
$ pyenv shell icsd

$ git clone https://github.com/hegdevinayi/icsd-queryer.git hegdevinayi/icsd-queryer.git
$ cd hegdevinayi/icsd-queryer.git
$ pip install -r requirements.txt    
$ pip install -U pip pysocks ipython matplotlib
# More packages for testing https://github.com/lrcfmd/ICSDClient
#$ pip install -U requests[socks,use_chardet_on_py3] pip matplotlib numpy ipython beautifulsoup4

Then I do the following test from ipython:

In [1]: import logging

In [2]: import queryer
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any hints for fixing this problem. See here for a related discussion.
