Transport coding error when installing with pip

Question

I get an unexpected argument: the encoding keyword in parse () when trying to install any python package via pip.

I get this problem since I installed shadoworflow for python 3.6, which probably led to some problem with html5lib and setuptools. Reinstall html5lib1.0b10 using the tar.gz file (admin installation), but the problem still remains. Please, help!

Answer 1

The problem was really with html5lib and setuptools, I reinstalled html5lib using

conda install -c anaconda html5lib

, : " " conda, conda-env, html5lib. . !

Answer 2

tensorflow 1.3.0.

html5lib.

conda uninstall html5lib --force
conda install html5lib

pip install --upgrade tensorflow. pip install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu.

Answer 3

Thanks Nemish, installing html5lib resolved the pip installation issue. But tensor flow and several other packages were downgraded in the process. Upgrading the tensor flow to 1.3 from pip will again result in an incorrect installation of pip install.
