Hello,

when does that error happen?
What exactly are you tying to do?
Which Windows version are you using?

Regards,
Rui

Are you using PlatformIO?

I think error that you’ve mentioned happens in Windows based systems… For programming ESP-IDF I recommend using Linux (Ubuntu for example).

I’ve only used the ESP-IDF on Linux using Eclipse. I highly recommend trying PlatformIO for Atom or VS Code… Unfortunately I’ve never encountered that error and I couldn’t find a solution for you…

The error related to python, as you know micro python, and python script it is for you to figure out what is this error is?

As I can’t replicate that error on my computer, it’s almost impossible to give you a solution without actually trying. I assume that you try this:

pip install urllib3

or (depending in your python version);

pip3 install urllib3

Platform IO + Atom IDE is the best setup to program ESP32 with ESP-IDF. As I said I don’t recommend using Eclipse on Windows.
