ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chardet'

[reconkor]

Solution

The issue is caused by Python's "requests" charset_normalizer dependency which is broken on macOS ARM.

A temporary solution is to install an alternative charset dependency. Please open PlatformIO Core CLI and type:

pip install -U charset

Restart VSCode.
