Poetry: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cleo'

[gh640]

• [x] I am on the latest Poetry version.
• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• [x] If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• OS: Mac OS X / 10.14.6 / 18G5033
• Poetry version: 1.1.0
• Python version: 3.8

Issue

After updating poetry to 1.1.0 with poetry self update, it stopped working. I cannot run even poetry --version now.

$ poetry self update
Updating to 1.1.0
 - Downloading poetry-1.1.0-darwin.tar.gz 100%

Poetry (1.1.0) is installed now. Great!

$ poetry

    from .application import Application

I searched for an issue but couldn't find one. #2991 was for a different problem.

poetry -vvv generates the following output:

$ poetry -vvv
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/username/.poetry/bin/poetry", line 12, in <module>

I needed to use Poetry soon and re-installed it.

python get-poetry.py --uninstall
python get-poetry.py

The error has gone.

I hope this helps other people.

Same here

I had to do the same thing after adding python 3.9 to my pyenv and update poetry, re-install was the only thing that would do it.

I had the same problem after updating to python 3.9 but the issue went away after "pip install --user poetry". Note that I use python through pyenv.
