pytimber not working with miniconda (python 3.8)

I install the new miniconda an pytimber by doing the following:

cd ~/Desktop
mkdir test_pytimber
cd test_pytimber
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p /home/giadarol/Desktop/test_pytimber/miniconda3

source miniconda3/bin/activate
pip install numpy scipy matplotlib ipython pandas h5py
pip install pytimber

When running in python:

import pytimber
ldb = pytimber.LoggingDB()

I obtain the following error message:

In [2]: ldb = pytimber.LoggingDB()
