I had the same output. In my case was resolved to comment in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/networkx/algorithms/dag.py from fractions import gcd and writing import math.

And editing in code g = gcd(g, levels[u] - levels[v] + 1) by g = math.gcd(g, levels[u] - levels[v] + 1)

This are the changes was made in my case

Duplicate of #1111.

Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt or pip3 install networkx==2.5.

This issue is due to the networkx package using a function which is now deprecated and not available in Python 3.9. This has been resolved in networkx version 2.5.

Spiderfoot specifies networkx version 2.5 or newer in requirements.txt :

this worked for me:

conda install -y networkx">=2.5"
