(Python) Unable to create process using '-'

Question

Okay. This is complicated for me to explain, but I'll try my best: it starts when one day I decide to run and test my Discord bot (using discord.py) when I'm greeted with this error:

TypeError: __new__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'deny_new'

If needed, the full traceback:

  File "script.py", line 14, in <module>
    bot.run('token')
  File "C:\Users\44794\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 640, in run
    return future.result()

    self._overwrites.append(_Overwrites(id=overridden_id, **overridden))
TypeError: __new__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'deny_new'

I looked up this issue and found a resolution to this problem - to just reinstall discord.py. So:

> pip uninstall discord

Another error:

Unable to create process using 'C:\Users\44794\aanaconda3\python.exe C:\Users\44794\aanaconda3\Scripts\pip-script.py uninstall discord'

I'm sure that once I have the solution to this issue, the other problems can be fixed easily. As always, I've only been properly using Python for two months or so. Please try to simplify the solution as best you can! Thanks in advance.

Well you gotta show your code for us so we can give help if possible — cylee, Jul 28 '20 at 10:53
@cylee the code isn't relevant, I want to uninstall then reinstall discord.py wth the terminal but I can't because of this issue. — flitee, Jul 28 '20 at 12:21
@InsertCheesyLine that's what I want to do in the first place, but this error is stopping me. — flitee, Jul 28 '20 at 12:21

Hi you have to upgrade discord.py from version 1.3.3 to 1.3.4. Try `pip install --upgrade discord.py` — Ecks Dee, Jul 28 '20 at 19:16

@EthanM-H thanks for the response, but as I say, I'm new to all this computer science stuff. Could you please simplify what to do as I don't quite understand it. — flitee, Jul 29 '20 at 08:27
@LoremI. it might be, but I don't know what to do to fix it. The way I learned to use discord.py was to use Anaconda. — flitee, Jul 31 '20 at 08:31
