When I run the script
from bitcoin.core import COIN, b2lx
import bitcoin.wallet
import bitcoin.rpc
rpc = bitcoin.rpc.Proxy()
addr = bitcoin.wallet.CBitcoinAddress('mfrMeTKojpEXFXpcQiRr7zA3Bff4UBgZTx')
txid = rpc.sendtoaddress(addr, 0.001 * COIN)
print(b2lx(txid))
I get the following ERROR

Any idea how to resolve this? I used the code from
