[ase-users] problems in using ase modules after installation

[Roberto Gaspari]

Dear ase users,
I am experiencing a problem using ase, and I ask you kind help.

I have installed the package using:

pip install --upgrade --user ase

The installation ends regularly.

Afterwards I set the path as:

export PATH=/home/roberto/.local/bin:$PATH

then I run the test

python -m ase.test

and the test stops with the following message:

 File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ase/io/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
    from zipfile import is_zipfile
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/zipfile.py", line 501, in <module>
    class ZipExtFile(io.BufferedIOBase):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'BufferedIOBase'

I do not know how to solve the issue,
I thank you in advance for any help in sorting the problem.

Best regards,

Roberto
