You need to update Python to fix this error. For that please open Terminal.app and run the following command

conda update python

Sorry, that problem is probably not fixed in Python 2, so my above solution doesn't work. The only possible solution is to update to Python 3 (and given that Python 2 has only 6 months of life, it's about time, sorry).
