please help i try uninstall python and reinstall But the same problem this error Appears only in scripts inside import models

Does this happen when you just try and enter the Python interpreter (I.e when you just type "Python" with no argument?). Otherwise it's this a bug in a specific Python module you're trying to execute? — Simon Hobbs

I think there is an error with the import in File "C:\Users\Egypt\Desktop\python\token.py", line 1, in <module> — JorgeeFG

I realize the comment above more or less resolved the issue, but to explain what was actually happening (because I just had a very similar problem and found this question):

It looks like your file C:\Users\Egypt\Desktop\python\token.py was incorrectly being picked as the source for the from token import * statement in the system's C:\Users\Egypt\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\tokenize.py module. It was actually intending to reference the module C:\Users\Egypt\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\token.py. Since your version of the file wasn't what it expected, it raised an exception.

Either of these fixes should work in this case:

Rename your token.py file to a non-conflicting name
Don't execute python from this folder as the current directory.
