Unable to find tags and data

Hi,
Thanks for the ruuvitag-sensor library and good documentation for the Raspberry Pi.
I can see the RuuviTags (Flashed with latest weather station firmware) in nrfConnect and also in android nearby notifications.
After successfully installing the ruuvitag-sensor library I tried running the find_tags.py which is not showing any tags. However get_ble_data.py shows the MAC id's of the ruuvitags.
What could be the issue?
print_to_screen.py results in follwing error in log file.

I'm not sure here but I think you need to use the "data-format-3" branch of the repo instead to make it compatible with the latest RuuviTag FW.
Try installing with:
pip3 install --upgrade git+https://github.com/ttu/ruuvitag-sensor@data-format-3
I install it in my home folder so I add the --user argument as well.
