Hi @mmali277, thanks for creating the issue! As you can probably tell, this script is pretty old and has not been updated in a while. It's likely not compatible with the latest version of python-cybox.

It shouldn't be too much work to update it, but I also wanted to ask if there was a particular reason you are using the older CybOX 2.1 compared to the newer Cyber Observables in STIX 2.1? We don't yet have a email translator that supports STIX 2.1, but would be happy to help you if you have any questions. The code in this repo would be a good starting point, and creating STIX 2.0 JSON is much easier in Python than creating XML.

Hi @gtback, thanks for the reply. I just started studying cybox and stix for research purposes of my academic carrier. I am assigned to study cybox first and then to continue to stix, therefore i was using cybox 2.1. I needed a sample to study, therefore i used this, script.

I would start by trying to use an older version of python-cybox. Try pip install cybox==2.1.0.12 and see if the problem is resolved.
