That's caused by the update of imageio

Use this instead:

sudo pip3 install imageio==2.4.1

  • This actually works. I hit and tried a lot of other options on internet, wasn't believing this will be the solution but when nothing worked tried above and it works. I misunderstood above thinking i have to upgrade the package to 2.4.1 but it actually as far as I understand means to downgrade the package to 2.4.1. the latest that was installed on my machine was 2.5.0. Once downgraded to 2.4.1 it works. Thank You
