Environment

Note: Previously, I installed Gluon-TS (0.5.2) using ! pip install --upgrade mxnet==1.6 gluonts and if I do ! pip list I can see the package is installed but when I ran !pip uninstall glounts it says WARNING: Skipping glounts as it is not installed.

• Operating system: Sagemaker notebook instance with conda_mxnet_p36 kernel.
• Python version: 3.6
• GluonTS version: 0.5.2 is already installed.
• MXNet version:1.6

According to this, it could be that enum34 is installed.

Can you check whether this is also the case here?

Thanks @jaheba ! That was the issue and by running !pip uninstall -y enum34 it is resolved.
