 AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag'

occurred when I run anything with Python3( I just installed Python 3.6.1 for MacOS X). I’ve tried to fix it for some days but have not resolved it yet. Can someone suggest a relevant solution to fix the attributeerror: module ‘enum’ has no attribute ‘intflag’ issue? Much appreciate your support.

    The cause:

    It is possible that your enum module is not a standard library enum, so the error happens.

    Solution:

    If you unset PYTHONPATH, you can resolve this error.

    $ unset PYTHONPATH

  2. Your enum module is not standard library enum. Most likely, you have the package installed.

    You can check the property enum.__file__ to confirm. 

    import enum
print(enum.__file__) 
# standard library location should be something like 
# /usr/local/lib/python3.6/enum.py

    The enum34 library in python 3.3.6 is not compatible with the standard library. You can also uninstall the library. 

    pip uninstall -y enum34

    You can have enum-compat if you require the code to work on both 3.4 and 3.4 python version. For older versions of Python, it only installs enum34 without the standard library.
