How do I fix 'ImportError: cannot import name IncompleteRead'?

Question

When I try to install anything with pip or pip3, I get:

$ sudo pip3 install python3-tk
Tra         


        

Answer 1

The problem is the Python module requests. It can be fixed by

$ sudo apt-get purge python-requests
[now requests and pip gets deinstalled]
$ sudo apt-get install python-requests python-pip

If you have this problem with Python 3, you have to write python3 instead of python.
