AttributeError: module 'urllib3' has no attribute '__version__' error while executing py file

Question

I'm very much new to Python and right now I'm trying to use Python for one of my automation tasks.

I'm trying to execute Execute.py while doing so I learned that my python setup should have modules requests (so downloaded 2.21.0),urllib3 (so downloaded 1.21.1), chardet(so downloaded 3.0.4).

My Python version is 3.7.3

When I execute my execute.py I get the following error:

 File "C:\Users\ABC\Downloads\python-3.7.3-embed-amd64\requests\__init__.py", line 87, in <module>
    check_compatibility(urllib3.__version__, chardet.__version__)
AttributeError: module 'urllib3' has no attribute '__version__'

So just like we have in chardet folder, I have created a version.py under urllib3 folder.

But still, I'm getting the same error.

Please, can someone help me with this? Which is taking my lot of time to find the resolution.

You can uninstall and then install again all required package, by pip uninstall and pip install .

you can also upgrade all specified packages to the newest available version. The handling of dependencies depends on the upgrade-strategy used (command require for this).

pip install --upgrade
