TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'capture_output'

Tried it on my Raspberry Pi and got this error:

sudo ./detect.py 192.168.1.0/24 data.db
Traceback (most recent call last):

with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as process:

I had the same issue. Turns out that This parameter doesn't exist in python3.6 and below. You will need to upgrade your python to 3.7 and up.

Thanks harperreed for the follow up. I will try to detect the Python version and implement a work around for Python < 3.7
