I am having this issue as well. If this error is a result of my personal python set up please let me know.
Os: Win 10
Python: 3.7

Okay, I figured it out I think.
@dummys If you did what I did, I installed python-cim from the pip repo. That version is out of date and is missing the functions that you need. To fix that it is really easy.

1. Go to flare-wmi/python-cim/cim/cim.py in the github repo.
2. Copy all the data from that page. (or download it)
3. Open what ever local file explorer you use and go to the installed location.
   • pip show cim (This will tell you where pip put the package)
   • Default path for 3.7 on windows should be C:\users"Your Username"\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages\cim\cim.py
4. open up cim.py with your favorite text/code editor.
   5)Paste all the data from step one into the file and save. (or if you downloaded it replace the original with the download)

This should work. Or at least i am running it now with out errors. This is my best suggestion.

Confirmed that worked for me as well.

sounds like i need to update the library in pypi (python-registry, too). i'll try to do this in the next few days.

thanks @fatalflawburns for documenting the fix here!

Hi,
@williballenthin any chance to get this library updated? Presented by @fatalflawburns workaround doesn't works on my system unfortunately.

spoiler alert, its still not fixed

[Kr3shnik]

cp flare-wmi/python-cim/cim/*.py ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/cim/
this command fixed it for me,
beaware it might not work for everybody since its a pretty scuffed fix
im using ubuntu-focal running on vagrant and the whole thing is on a python venv
