See original GitHub issue

Getting following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Main.py", line 2, in <module> from PyInquirer import prompt, print_json File "C:\Users\CBAY\OneDrive - Netcompany\Python Projects\TimeRegistration\venv\lib\site-packages\PyInquirer\__init__.py", line 6, in <module> from prompt_toolkit.token import Token ImportError: cannot import name 'Token'

I got the same issue. A walkaround is to downgrade the prompt_toolkit and it worked for me. pip install ‘prompt_toolkit==1.0.14’

Maybe better change the version of prompt_toolkit in requirements.txt: prompt_toolkit==1.0.14

Otherwise will always use latest version of prompt_toolkit FYI: There is breaking update in prompt_toolkit 2.0

pip install ‘prompt_toolkit==1.0.14’

Unfortunately this now makes ipython 7.12.0 not work.

ERROR: ipython 7.12.0 has requirement prompt-toolkit!=3.0.0,!=3.0.1,<3.1.0,>=2.0.0, but you'll have prompt-toolkit 1.0.14 which is incompatible.

when trying to use ipython it gives the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/xxx/anaconda3/envs/ox/bin/ipython", line 7, in <module>
    from IPython import start_ipython

    from prompt_toolkit.formatted_text import PygmentsTokens
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'prompt_toolkit.formatted_text'

after pip install prompt_toolkit ipython now works again but pyinquirer fails
