python dependency error while installing a package

Question

Whenever I install a python package I get this error. I am using Intel development python in Miniconda environment. The package is getting installed but always this dependency error arises. The following is an example.

pip install keras

The error is as is shown below.

I tried uninstalling and installing the whole intel distribution,still error is not resolved. There is no folder called parso-0.5.1.dist-info which gets created. I don't know how to resolve this internal error.

Answer 1

It looks like the automatic package upload has broken Intel Anaconda. This has been escalated and is working to resolve. However, we are not sure if the same problem is causing your issue. Since this may not be a programming issue, you might try the Intel Distribution of Python forum as well for a deeper look into your issue.
