importing pwntools in google colab

Question

I was importing pwntools in google colab but this error stops pwntools from importing:

I never had any problem with importing any library in google colab

I looked up failed to import pwntools in google colab in google and found this issue but it was not helpful. the error was similar but I did not understand what and how. I want an explanation of the error and how to solve this error.

Linked issue sort of explains that if you set PWNLIB_NOTERM to 1 before the import, it might work. something like `%env PWNLIB_NOTERM=1` ? — rasjani, Apr 27 '23 at 07:36
@rasjani where do i put this? i tried adding a code block and adding it there. but it does not work. — gr007, Apr 27 '23 at 08:08
