When I uninstall clcache (pip uninstall clcache) the errors go away (but I don't have clcache :-/ )

@JodiTheTigger If I recall correctly, support for Python 2 was dropped with clcache 3.2.0, i.e. the previous release (clcache 3.1.1) might have been the last one which still works with Python 2.7. You can find clcache 3.1.1 here: https://github.com/frerich/clcache/releases/tag/v3.1.1
