transport_encoding error during installing with pip

问题

I'm getting unexpected arg: keyword encoding in parse() while trying to install any python package through pip.

I'm getting this problem since i installed tensorflow for python 3.6, which probably led to some issue with html5lib and setuptools. Have reinstalled html5lib1.0b10 using tar.gz file (admin install) but the issue still remains. Please help!!

Issue was indeed with html5lib and setuptools, I re-installed html5lib using

conda install -c anaconda html5lib

Although package versions were same, it said 'The following packages will be SUPERSEDED by a higher-priority channel', and installed conda, conda-env, html5lib. I'm unsure about higher-priority channel part. But this answered my problem!!

回答2:

Problem appears after installing tensorflow 1.3.0.

Reinstall html5lib.

conda uninstall html5lib --force
conda install html5lib

Solves the problem temporarily until next pip install --upgrade tensorflow. Had the same problem with pip install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu as well.

Thanks Nemish, installing html5lib resolved the pip install problem. But tensorflow and several other packages got downgraded in the process. Upgrading tensorflow to 1.3 from pip will again render pip install faulty.
