Interesting.. I suspect this is going to be a python version problem. could you paste the output of python --version please?

root@lutfi:~# python --version
Python 2.5.2

Don't know if this is right or not, but I got this on another machine as well and the quick fix was to change:

class TerminatorWindowTitle():

to:

class TerminatorWindowTitle:

Seemed to load up OK after that, but I have never written in python before so this could be a big no no - I'm sure dev guys will delete this post if it is :).

After delete (), now i can finishing upgrade without error anymore.
And terminator can say "I'll be back" also :-D

Many thanks
