I'm getting unexpected arg: keyword encoding in parse() while trying to install any python package through pip.
I'm getting this problem since i installed tensorflow for python 3.6, which probably led to some issue with html5lib and setuptools. Have reinstalled html5lib1.0b10 using tar.gz file (admin install) but the issue still remains. Please help!!

Issue was indeed with html5lib and setuptools, I re-installed html5lib using
conda install -c anaconda html5lib
Although package versions were same, it said 'The following packages will be SUPERSEDED by a higher-priority channel', and installed conda, conda-env, html5lib. I'm unsure about higher-priority channel part. But this answered my problem!!
