Problem analysis
this problem has not occurred before. It is suspected that the python iteration version conflict is caused by the update of Ubuntu system. It is recommended to turn off the automatic update of Ubuntu to prevent such problems. It takes a long time to solve some version conflict problems.

Solution:
the query found that pythonpath was set incorrectly. The configuration left by the previous use of python2 was saved in. Bashrc, resulting in python3 unable to find the correct enum location. After commenting out the relevant statements in bashrc, clear the $pythonpath variable:

 unset PYTHONPATH
 echo $PYTHONPATH

Then it can be used normally. Pythonpath is a multi-purpose configuration in python2. It is generally no longer needed after using python3.
