Thank you for posting this. This is due to the fact that pdf2doi tries to include the module winreg which exists only in Windows. This module is only needed for "advanced" functionalities (e.g. being able to call pdf2doi by just right-clicking on a pdf file), but it gets mistakenly loaded at very beginning of one of the main modules. I will fix this in the next version which will be released in a few days.

This was solved in version 0.6.
