I had this issue, it was caused because I had installed python 3.6.9 with 3.5.2 (Ubuntu 16.04) I had also used sudo update-alternatives --config python3 to not use auto setting it back to auto solved the problem for me (and then giving 3.6.9 priority was the next step to get the newest version of python running by default) New user: I can't reply to other comments :(
