Yes.  Thanks.

I tried to set up a venv for this project and had problems.  I tried a
few things with no luck, so I copied appdirs.py from the venv to my
dist-packages.  That is when this error came up.  If I rename the copied
file then it goes back to the old error of not finding appdirs.

I don't remember the exact error that I was getting with the venv, but I
will remove and rebuild it and try again.
