from telegram.ext import Updater
bot = telegram.Bot(token='***')

I get the above error.

(Spyder maintainer here) This is a known bug and it was fixed in our 3.2.8 version, released on March/2018.

@danieltalsky, please update your Spyder version. This bug was fixed already (I updated the answer accordingly). – Carlos Cordoba Nov 27 '18 at 01:05

I encountered this issue with Spyder 3.2.6,

All you have to do is open Spyder with admin privileges, and the problem goes away. It's a temporary fix, but 100 percent works.
