What is the output of which python? Also, what is the first line of /usr/bin/terminator? Is it something like #!/usr/bin/python3? or is it #!/usr/bin/python?

It is #!/usr/bin/python

Do you have python2 installed? Run sudo apt install python or what is the output of which python?

Terminator require python2 libraries but from your output it seems it is using python3 to run. Also, according to release notes of Ubuntu 18.04,

Python 2 is no longer installed by default. Python 3 has been updated to 3.6. This is the last LTS release to include Python 2 in main.

To install Python2 in 18.04, run:

sudo apt install python-minimal

Consider to reinstall packages with apt_pkg with

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-apt python3-apt

and to be completely sure reinstall Terminator with

sudo apt-get install --reinstall terminator

sudo nano /usr/bin/terminator

Then, change the first line from this:

To this:

#!/usr/bin/python2

Finally, save the file and you're ready to go!
