Hi Yutong Zhao, Please send openbabel emails to openbabel-disc...@lists.sf.net.
The error is because there are no plugins presents. It's true that pybel should have a better error message to handle this. However, if you don't have any plugins (e.g. formats), you will not really be able to use pybel for anything.
