I get a AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'Iterable' when I try to install libraries using PIP

Question

When installing some libraries (numpy, cython, cymem) using pip, I get an error during the installation process that says:

AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'Iterable'

Why does this happen, and how can I make these libraries install properly?

• Platform: Windows 10 (64 bit)
• Python: 64 bit (3.9.0a2)
• Pip version: 19.3.1

Answer 1

collections.Iterable is deprecated. Replace it with collections.abc.Iterable.
