ddg3.py needs update for Python 3.9.
Fix requires changing getiterator() to iter() in ddg3.py. It’s not obvious who to contact about upstream fix, in the meantime mycroft could probably implement a patch.

ddg3 Python library is not part of Mycroft, you will have to speak directly to the maintainer[1] or open an issue on GitHub.

In the mean time, you could have a look to @JarbasAl Duck Duck Go skill (from yesterday ^^) [2], it works with the same intents plus some new ones.

$ . mycroft-core/.venv/bin/activate
$ msm install https://github.com/JarbasSkills/skill-ddg.git

Best to open an issue on github for things like that.

Edit: I should read better before posting…
