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

The only thing which worked for me was to download the tarball from pypi and run python setup.py install

It worked like a charm
