jsonschema 3.2.0 and perhaps any version less than 4.0 support Python 2.7. Try

pip install "jsonschema<4.0"

I think I have a solution.

I did may things, regenerated my env (anaconda env) from another computer where it worked, but no success.

What I think that nailed it is upgrading jsonschema to 2.5.1

Here are my steps from "bad" jupyter env to working jupyter env.

Good luck and come back if it doesn't work, I will post the notebook* relevant versions.

>conda upgrade pip
pip:        8.1.0-py27_0  --> 8.1.1-py27_0
setuptools: 20.2.2-py27_0 --> 20.3-py27_0 

>pip install functools32
Downloading functools32-3.2.3-2.tar.gz    
Successfully installed functools32-3.2.3.post2

>jupyter notebook
ImportError: No module named _version
Jupyter notebook format depends on the jsonschema package:
    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jsonschema
Please install it first.

>pip install jsonschema
Requirement already satisfied

>pip install --upgrade jsonschema

i also got the same error and none of the above mentioned procedures worked for me so i've checked the documentation of anaconda and found something useful

conda install -c conda-forge/label/cf201901 jsonschema

conda install jupyter

jupyter notebook

this worked for me,thanks to anaconda documentation

r/learnpython on Reddit: How to get out of this double circle?

May 22, 2024 -

Sorry if my questions are basic. I don't do this (python programming) on a regular basis. Only running these commands according to a README of some repository I had to set up.

My python commands are running in two circles:

it says I need to upgrade to 24.0. I run upgrade, and it shows I'm there. Then it says I need to upgrade again.
It says I'm missing jsonschema module. I installed it, reinstall only says "equirement already satisfied". But then my program still says I'm missing the module.

How do I get out of this trap? Please help!
