Hi, I have just started looking at using the ArcGIS API for Python library, but I have hit an issue immediately.
Attempting to import the library results in the following error:
from arcgis.gis import GIS
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\main.py", line 1, in <module>

mkdir(name, mode)
FileExistsError: [WinError 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists: 'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\.certifi'
I tried a number of things to solve this issue - deleting the folder and even reinstalling Python and the ArcGIS library, but still the issue occurs.
Has anybody run into the same problem before? I only have this issue on Windows 10, I haven't had the same issue on Linux. I have even tried on multiple Windows 10 machines, which resulted in the same error each time.
Thanks
