I tried installing tensorflow but I got this KeyError:

Then I tried installing it using a virtual environment (venv), and the progress bar went a bit further this time, but it still threw pretty much the same error.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I've tried a lot of methods but useless. Finally I have to reinstalled my python and it works.

Answer 2

Just use --default-timeout=100 parameter with the install. e.g

py -3.7-64 -m pip install --default-timeout=100 tensorflow

I hope, this will help you.
