This is not meant for executing, it is meant for importing and using the AES class

by any chance, do you have ported version of python3?

yeah, I really don't think much of this gist, its got some pretty weird stuff in the metaclass, which probably causes some python 2/3 issues. also, AES doesn't really make a great base class, you could determine if its AES 128, 192, and 256 by just measuring the size of an initialized key and setting the number of rounds appropriately. AES implies a block size of 128 bits.
basically its a ride on the fail boat. I think the OP was trying to look smart.
