ImportError: cannot import name '_remove_dead_weakref' - python

Yesterday updated my ubuntu 17.04 to ubuntu 17.10. any comments? Appear when I try to run server in pycharm. #django project.

ImportError: cannot import name '_remove_dead_weakref'

Maybe you have mixed your multiple Python installations, the newer version of weakref are not compatible with older version python binary, try to remove any one (the older one is recommended) of Python installation.
Analysis
For my case, I have installed older version Python (3.5.1) before, and upgrade my Debian installation. The newer Debian upgrade it's Python3.5 to 3.5.3 which have _remove_dead_weakref in _weakref in its Python binary
When I type $ where python3.5, I get
/usr/local/bin/python3.5
/usr/local/bin/python3.5
/usr/bin/python3.5
The /usr/local/bin/python3.5 is my own older installation, and /usr/bin/python3.5 is Debian offical Python3.5
When I update my Python3.5 installation by apt-get, apt-get execute python3.5 -E -S /usr/lib/python3.5/py_compile.py $files (post-install script) in the deb package.`, it triggers the weakref issue, here is my log
Setting up python3.5-minimal (3.5.3-1+deb9u1) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python3.5/weakref.py", line 12, in <module>
from _weakref import (
ImportError: cannot import name '_remove_dead_weakref'
I tested Python 3.5.1 and Python 3.5.3 with same import action, here are the compares
Official Python 3.5.3 from apt-get
Python 3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39)
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux
>>> from _weakref import _remove_dead_weakref
>>>

>>>
>>> from _weakref import _remove_dead_weakref
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name '_remove_dead_weakref'
>>>
So, I confirm that python3.5 in /usr/local/bin/ cannot use _remove_dead_weakref.
But which python did apt-get use in post-installation script? Try it.
$ which python3.5
/usr/local/bin/python3.5
So, here is why. The post-installation script use my custom installation of python, along with newer python library (/usr/lib/python3.5/weakref.py)
Fix it!
As I said, disable older version of python
sudo mv /usr/local/bin/python3.5 /usr/local/bin/python3.5.bak
Test
$ which python3.5
/usr/bin/python3.5

Adding to #Comzyh answer, this indeed is due to mixed python versions when an upgrade happen due to any reason. A quick fix is to remove your venv python binary i.e. rm <path-to-your-env>/bin/python and copying your system python binary to your venv like cp /usr/bin/python <path-to-your-env>/bin/python. This will fix the weak ref error

importing PyQt4 modules gives Segmentation Fault after PyQt5 install

I'm using python 3.5.2 (64 bit) within a operating system Linux Mint 18 with a kernel release 4.4.0-109-generic.
A long time ago I installed PyQt4 through sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt4 and everything worked perfectly, untill I recently installed through pip PyQt5.
Since then, I'm able to import PyQt4 and import PyQt4.pyqtconfig but not the modules like import PyQt4.QtCore, import PyQt4.QtGui or import PyQt4.Qt for which exits python with 'Segmentation Fault'. I've also realized that the command (within python enviroment) help('modules') gives same output after some seconds.
I've tried to remove PyQt5 with pip and reinstall PyQt4 from terminal (version 4.11.4+dfsg-1build4), but nothing seems to change. I also can see the directory from the PyQt4 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt4
I've also tried to create a python virtual environment with virtualenv env --python=python3.5 inside a folder and copy the whole directory from PyQt4 to the dist-packages of the environment and also install sip within it. Using sip 4.19.8 version from pip.
Another thing I've tried is to use gdb python3 to run a python program that only contains the code:
#!/usr/bin/python3
import PyQt4.QtCore
What it returns is this:
$ gdb -q python3
Reading symbols from python3...Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/59/a8ef36ca241df24686952480966d7bc0d7c6ea.debug...done.
done.
(gdb) run FaultPy35.py
Starting program: /usr/bin/python3 FaultPy35.py
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

1343 ../Objects/typeobject.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
The program no longer exists.

I'm really new to gdb but apparently the problem goes beyond python packages...
Note: I've checked via dpkg-query -L python3-pyqt4 what the package python3-pyqt4 has installed in the following list:

Im runnin on Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid
Any idea of what am I doing wrong?
I'm not exactly sure how I fixed this (can't comment), but I had the exact same problem and I did:
sudo pip3 uninstall dbus-python
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo aptitude -f
After which aptitude alerted me of some dependency issues with Python, and I "downgraded" a version of Python I had installed on Ubuntu Xenial to the default package provided by Artful. Now, import dbus on Python 3.6.3 doesn't pass any errors. Don't know if it actually works well, though.
Maybe you'll be able to fix it in a similar fashion, since Debian and Ubuntu packages are usually the same.

something that may be complicating this is I have python 32 bit and 64 bit installed via arcgis...
Try running the following command to install the module
[root#server] python -m pip install decorator
This should install the module to the python library of the interpreter that starts when you run the python command
then try start up your interpreter again and try to import the module (assuming it doesn't say it's already satisfied)
[root#server] python
>> from decorator import decorator
>>
if it does say that it's already satisfied, then you can try to uninstall it using pip and then reinstall it by explicitly specifying the python -m command
[root#server] pip uninstall decorator
[root#server] python -m pip install decorator
then you can check to see if the module is available in your default interpretor
[root#server] python

AttributeError: module 'functools' has no attribute 'wraps'

I am trying to test 3rd party code with Anaconda 4.2 / Python 3.5 When I execute tests I get following exception:

Normally I would assume some module is shadowing built-in modules but as far as I can tell this is not the issue:
I logged module path (functools.__file__) from the tests and it yields expected path. Also there is nothing strange in the path I get in the exception.
To exclude possible module corruption I tested completely new Anaconda installation.
When I execute tests, with the same configuration and path, from IPython shell (%run pyspark/sql/tests.py) problem disappears.
functools.wraps can be imported in the shell started in the same directory and with the same configuration.
When I replace Python 3 environment with Python 2 environment problem disappears.
Problem cannot be reproduced with environment create using virtualenv.
With different version of the same project I get:

Is there something obvious I missed here?
Edit:
Dockerfile which can be used to reproduce the problem:

WORKDIR /spark-2.1.0-bin-hadoop2.7
RUN python python/pyspark/sql/tests.py
I suspect this is happening because, the functools module of python3 has the following import: from types import MappingProxyType and, instead of picking up this module from ${CONDA_PREFIX}/lib/python3.5/types.py, it tries to import the module from inside the sql directory: ${SPARK_HOME}/python/pyspark/sql/types.py . The functools module of python2 does not have this import and hence does not throw the error.
A workaround to this, is to somehow import the required types module first and then invoke the script. As a proof of concept:

From command line I can't import appengine, this might be something with my python path:
$ python

I don't want duplicate installations, I want to point the Python interpretor to where the missing module is. How do I make the interpretor find the app engine modules from the command prompt? In the application these imports are working.
appending:
/usr/local/google_appengine/:/usr/local/google_appengine/lib/:/usr/local/google_appengine/lib/yaml/
to your PYTHONPATH environment variable should do the trick (your SDK location may vary).
For appengine 1.9.6 google has created a new directory "yaml-3.10" that contains the yaml module. I added "[appengine install directory]/google_appengine/lib/yaml-3.10" to PYTHONPATH in my .bashrc file and that solved this problem. BTW: I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
yaml is not installed in your current setup. yaml package is included with google_appengine in the lib folder. the setup.py script in the folder will add the yaml package to your current python
cd google_appengine/lib/yaml
sudo python setup.py install
