Cannot run Python Console

Hello!

I recently updated some python packages on my Linux box (debian, buster/sid, kernel 4.14) via the pip command.

After this update, everytime I start PyCharm's python console, I get a NoneType attribute error, originating in

encodings/__init__.py line 74

within the

 search_funciton.

Here's a snapshot of the error.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be solved?

My encoding settings are set to UTF-8.
