Please help!!!


Solution

  • Looking at the traceback, it seems that you have an incorrect indentation in your random.py file. Try looking at the original file and match your contents with it.

    However, if the problem still persists you can try to force re-install a Python package using:

    sudo pip install --upgrade --no-deps --force-reinstall <packagename>
    

    Or, you could re-install Python 2.7 using:

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall python2.7
