OS: osx and linux

What was wrong?

After upgrading to latest eth-keys via pip install -U eth-keys, web3 package breaks.

>>> import web3
  File "/home/user/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/web3/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    from web3.main import Web3
  File "/home/user/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/web3/main.py", line 6, in <module>
    from eth_utils import (
ImportError: cannot import name 'force_text'

Note: Perhaps this issue should be raised in eth_utils repo as well.

This isn't an issue with eth-keys. By installing with -U you've updated dependency versions which has caused eth-utils to update itself to a >=1.0.0 version. You'll need to update your web3 to the 4.x beta to be compatible with the newest library versions or downgrade eth-utils to a <1.0.0

You're right, I got this backwards.
