While installing the socketio package for python using pip3 install socketio
, I got the following results:
ERROR: launchpadlib 1.10.13 requires testresources, which is not installed.
WARNING: The scripts easy_install and easy_install-3.8 are installed in '/home/bill/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.
Successfully installed netifaces-0.10.6 setuptools-3.3 socketio-0.2.1
Although I was able to import socketio
successfully, pip3 seems corrupted(?).
Specifically, when trying to run anything including pip3, even pip3
by itself in the terminal, I get the same error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Original exception was:

I tried reinstalling pip3 but it didn't help. I migrated from ubuntu to mint thinking it is something buggy with the distribution but same results. I also corrupted ubuntu when I tried to remove python and reinstall it since I couldn't use pip, but, you know what they say, live and learn. Edit: Nothing on using pip3: module "importlib._bootstrap" has no attribute "SourceFileLoader" works for me.
I am currently using linux mint 20, but I experienced the same problem on ubuntu 20.04 and 20.04.1.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
