I am trying to use web3 in a python console. It is a simple package built to communicate with a blockchain like ethereum. Run
pip3 install web3 --user to download.
The error I am coming to is when I try and import the module. Full python3.8 console is shown below.

from web3 import Web3 as Web3

ImportError: cannot import name 'scrypt' from 'Crypto.Protocol.KDF' (/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/Crypto/Protocol/KDF.py)
What is the problem here? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.
