The contextlib.suppress function supports from Python 3.4 but you are using Python 2.7. To solve this problem, upgrade your python version.

If this is useful for someone else, the solution for me (also using python 2.7) was:

pip uninstall attrs
pip uninstall queuelib
pip install queuelib==1.5.0
pip install attrs
