IPython console can't locate “backports.shutil_get_terminal_size” and won't load

Question

I\'m running Python2.7 on windows 10 doing env and most pkg management with Anaconda. After upgrading a number of packages, my ipython console now fails to start in any IDE

Answer 1

I am on CentOS 7, and I needed to change my terminal.py as shown below.

On the import statements I messed around with the prefixes and got it to work -

import os
import sys
import warnings
try:
  from backports import get_terminal_size as _get_terminal_size
except ImportError:
  # use backport on Python 2
  from shutil_backports import get_terminal_size as _get_terminal_size
