Error when importing keyring library in python

Question

I keep getting the same error when I import the keyring library. Just adding 'import keyring' to the code causes this error to appear. I have tried installing the library again, but that didn't solve it.

I'm using python 3.5 in pythonanywhere.

Can somebody help me figure out what might be going on or what I else I can try to do to fix it?

This is the Error message.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Looks like you need to post the code that's calling for the attribute 'exceptions' — AlphaTested

That's the thing, I don't call anything. The error comes just from 'import keyring'. I have tested that. I made a short code that works, but just adding 'import keyring' to it, without using the library at all causes the error to appear. — Juan Arteaga

My guess is that there's some kind of conflict between one of the system-installed modules and the ones you've installed with pip install --user into ~/.local

I suggest switching to a virtualenv to get a "clean" set of modules/dependencies. More info here: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/Virtualenvs
