Expecting to setup venv successfully but running into the above Error.

Solution

  • You /Users/jillasai.krishna/pi-tcms-1/pi-tcms/requirements.txt contains cheetah==2.4.4. This version of Cheetah is only for Python2 and you're trying to use with Python3.

    Either use your project with Python 2.7 or upgrade the project to Python 3. Cheetah3 supports both Python 2.7 and 3.4+.

    First thing to try is to replace cheetah==2.4.4 with Cheetah3==3.2.4.
