pip throws TypeError: parse() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘transport_encoding’ when trying to install new packages

I am using the latest version of Anaconda3. I just installed it and I am trying to download some packages. I am using the Anaconda Prompt. While trying to use pip to do anything (including upgrading existing packages) I get the following traceback.

    Exception:

Any ideas? (this problem only started after I installed tensorflow) Thanks.
