yep. Same error even when using sudo.

$ sudo pip3 install urllib3 --upgrade

Code:

Downloading/unpacking urllib3 from https://pypi.python.org/packages/63/cb/6965947c13a94236f6d4b8223e21beb4d576dc72e8130bd7880f600839b8/urllib3-1.22-py2.py3-none-any.whl#md5=1c11e1c80371cc4e89911071010a98d1

Could it have something to do with the dependencies I installed?
"Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pyqt5 python3-pip"

I had electrum-ltc installed and working fine. Then I installed the dependencies above and electrum (btc), that's when electrum-ltc stopped working.

Did you try what the message suggested and attempt to upgrade the lib?

As per the message, use the --upgrade option:

Code:

sudo pip3 install urllib3 --upgrade

Linux Mint 17 Qiana

I Installed electrum following the instructions on https://electrum.org/#download
Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pyqt5 python3-pip
Install Electrum:
sudo pip3 install https://download.electrum.org/3.1.1/Electrum-3.1.1.tar.gz

When I click the electrum icon through the applications menu nothing happens.
I have electrum-ltc installed and it was working. Since installing electrum it will not run.

If I try to start it through the command line I get the following error:
$ ./electrum

Code:

/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/requests/__init__.py:80: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.7.1) or chardet (2.2.1) doesn't match a supported version!
RequestsDependencyWarning)
Error: cannot import name 'DependencyWarning'. Try 'sudo pip install '

Trying to update urllib3 and chardet I get these errors:
$ sudo pip install urllib3

Code:

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): urllib3 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

$ pip install --upgrade urllib3
