Answer 1

Your uvicorn seems to be outside your virtualenv (the use of which being evident from (env) in your prompts), in ~/.local (your user site-packages directory). Remove it, then install and use an uvicorn within your env.

1. Without env activated: pip uninstall --user -y uvicorn
2. With your env activated: pip install uvicorn

You might also want to check for other packages that shouldn't have been installed outside a venv: pip list --user and similarly uninstall them to avoid further conflicts.

You can also set PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=false in your environment variable settings to prevent you from accidentally installing packages outside a virtualenv in the future.

perfect answer had install uvicorn and then changed virtual env and again created new env which caused this issue – Farrica

Answer 2

Had the same error message, this solved it for me

pip3 install httpx

pip install httpx Seems like a lazy answer doesn't it? Well, the creator of fastapi said it github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/discussions/… – Cosec
