I recently updated discord.py due to an error outlined in this post and after updating it I can no longer import it.

Running import discord brings up the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/discord/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
    from .client import Client

    import aiohttp

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yarl/_url.py", line 56, in <module>
    @rewrite_module
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yarl/_url.py", line 132, in URL
    _QUERY_PART_QUOTER = _Quoter(safe="?/:@", qs=True, requote=False)
  File "yarl/_quoting.pyx", line 192, in yarl._quoting._Quoter.__init__
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'requote'

The last thing on the list was yarl, so I tried an import yarl and got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yarl/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from ._url import URL, cache_clear, cache_configure, cache_info

  File "yarl/_quoting.pyx", line 192, in yarl._quoting._Quoter.__init__
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'requote'

The version of python is 3.6.8. I've also tried this on a different machine with 3.6.9 and got the same error. I've tried this on a machine with 3.7.7 and everything loaded normally, but I do not have the ability to upgrade python to 3.7 on this machine and so would like to get it to work on 3.6.

Upgrading pip did not help me.

Forcing the reinstall of yarl as shown by @Orangutan did not help me.

However, the following did the trick:

mkdir ~/backup
mv ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yarl* ~/backup/
pip3 install yarl --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir
