I am getting this error when trying to perform the basic operation of help in python for tflearn.

I wanted to know what is the reason for this and how to fix it.

Thanks!

Solution

  • Two possible solutions found searching on the Internet:

    sudo pip install --upgrade requests

    This will upgrade the requests package, fixing the problem related to an older version of a dependency of this package.

    Or upgrading the following packages solved the problem for other people:

    sudo pip install --upgrade beautifulsoup4
sudo pip install --upgrade html5lib
sudo pip install spry

    I hope it helps.
