Gensim installation problems

I am trying to install gensim on a google cloud instance using:

pip3 install gensim

and this is the stacktrace when I am trying to import gensim:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/gensim/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>

    boto.plugin.load_plugins(config)

This is the linux version (output of lsb_release -a):

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 (jessie)
Release:    8.6
Codename:   jessie

and this is the output of

pip3 freeze

This Problem mainly occurs because of garbage present in boto plugin or config file. So as suggested by @vJune, we need to uninstall the boto library then install it again. I solved this problem by just removing the python-boto package only.

On Google Compute Engine:

Step1: Uninstall the python-boto package

sudo apt-get remove python-boto

Step2: Install the python-boto library

sudo apt-get install python-boto

had the same problem, in case anyone stumbles upon this: GCE is broken somehow

pip install google-compute-engine

from https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/issues/262

works

Fixed it:

sudo pip3 uninstall boto

sudo pip3 install boto

It seemed to be a google compute cloud thing.
