ImportError: No module named shutil_get_terminal_size IPython

Question

I am having this error with my IPython version on Redhat.

$ ipython --version

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/ipython", line 7, in <module>

    import backports.shutil_get_terminal_size
**ImportError: No module named shutil_get_terminal_size**

Could you please help me to resolve it?

I got the same question as yours. I solve it by using pip install -U ipython to update IPython and it workes. Hope it helps!
