I am not an expert, I have pasted what I did. But basically, w3af failed to work, so I removed/pruged ad then followed the install instructions on the W3AF website for Kali. Could someone tell me where I have gone wrong. The error looks like it's something to do with Python, the first errors were lines 99 etc... then after I removed/installed the error lines changed.

sudo pip install xdot==0.6
A script with these commands has been created for you at /tmp/w3af_dependency_install.sh
According to Kali's documentation [0] in order to avoid breaking the packaged w3af version you should run the following commands:
cd ~
apt-get install -y python-pip
pip install --upgrade pip
git clone https/github.com/andresriancho/w3af.git
cd w3af
