Cannot install Tensorflow in Python

Question

I'm running python 3.5.3 on Windows

I tried using

pip install --upgrade tensorflow

and here's what i get back

Using cached tensorflow-1.0.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
Requirement already up-to-date: wheel>=0.26 in 
c:\users\max\miniconda3\lib\site-packages (from tensorflow)

  File "C:\Users\Max\Miniconda3\lib\email\feedparser.py", line 104, in push
self._partial.write(data)
TypeError: string argument expected, got 'NoneType'

I've also tried

pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow

but I get back

'pip3' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'm not too sure what the error is, and googling hasn't gotten me any results

This is probably a bug, and better answered if you file an issue on GitHub — keveman

I also had the same issue. I'm using Anaconda, and I managed to install it with these commands:

conda create -n tensorflow 
activate tensorflow
pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

This worked for me, and probably this will work for miniconda too.
