Answer 2

I had the same problem and what worked for me was updating pip with conda:

conda install pip

It changed my pip from 9.0.1-py36hadba87b_3 to 9.0.1-py36h226ae91_4 and solved issue.

Answer 3

Here was the fix for me:

cd /usr/share/python-wheels/

Contents of dir:

-rwxrwxrwx   1 www-data www-data 493905 Jul 22  2015 html5lib-0.999-py2.py3-none-any.whl
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root     112620 Apr  3  2019 html5lib-0.999999999-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Run:

mv html5lib-0.999-py2.py3-none-any.whl html5lib-0.999-py2.py3-none-any.whl.bak

pip3 works fine after. Was loading the old 0.999 version.

Answer 4

download https://github.com/html5lib/html5lib-python/tree/master/html5lib and overwrite all the files within html5lib folder in your tensorflow environment "envs\tensorflow\Lib\site-packages\html5lib" Then you should be able to run any "pip install" commands after that

Answer 5

I was getting this exact error installing SerpentAI. All I did to fix it was run activate serpent in conda prompt and then I ran the command again. Not sure if it's applicable to your situation, but they seem close enough that it might.

That worked perfectly for me. (this took a helpful member of our community 8 hours to debug)
