Google assistant on Raspberry pi B3 won't start

I have tried building the Google Assistant on my Raspberry pi model b3 following this walkthrough https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/prototype/getting-started-pi-python/run-sample

Everything went well until I tried starting it with 

google-assistant-demo

and I get the following stacktrace

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/env/bin/google-assistant-demo", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/home/pi/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/google/assistant/__main__.py", line 66, in main
    with Assistant(credentials) as assistant:
  File "/home/pi/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/google/assistant/library/assistant.py", line 86, in __init__
    self._event_queue = IterableEventQueue()
  File "/home/pi/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/google/assistant/library/event.py", line 172, in __init__
    super(IterableEventQueue, self).__init__(maxsize=32)
TypeError: must be type, not classobj

I don't even know where to start and have not tried any solutions. What could be causing the exception?

As pointed in the official documentation: The Google Assistant library currently require Python > 3.4.

You can configure a virtual environments using the following commands:

python3 -m venv env
env/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
source env/bin/activate
