When I try to install something in VScode , for example, picoweb, I get the following error:

$ micropy install picoweb

Get the error with any package I'm trying to install.

Hi @ramprao,

Thanks for the report. Looks like the requests module is failing to parse the JSON package file from PyPi.

Do you mind providing your micropy.log file via a pastebin or similiar? (Stored in $HOME/.micropy/micropy.log)

I cannot reproduce this issue, so it may be something wrong with your environment. Please try executing pip install requests --upgrade and check if the issue persists. Thanks!

Braden, Thanks. Here is the pastebin from the time when I started the micropy command.

I did try a reinstall of requests but that did not help. I may try a separate environment.

[ramprao]

Thanks. You were correct. It works in a new conda environment. Something must have conflicted.

conda create --name "test2"
conda activate test2
conda install pip
conda install requests
pip install micropy-cli

Start VS Code. Change python: Select Interpreter to point to this environment.

micropy stubs add esp32-micropython-1.11.0
micropy init
micropy install picoweb

Installed without error.
