The problem is that the 'imp' python module has been removed from newer versions of python, Code that use it should be ported to use 'importlib' instead.
There have been other reports about this. Since Probe Basic is an external project it might be worth filing this as an issue on their Github page:
github.com/kcjengr/probe_basic/issues

I guess you're installing on Trixie.

Install
sudo apt install python3-zombie-imp

Then if you try to run you'll get another error which is related to libqt5quickwidgets5
sudo apt install libqt5quickwidgets5
