Running sudo pipenv throws AttributeError

[razvan286]

I work on a solution where I need to access the port: port='/dev/bus/usb/002/002'. This throws permission denied error. I am trying to run sudo pipenv run python main.py and this also throws an error because of the pipenv. You can see the full error message below:
sudo pipenv run python main.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

    class RequestsCookieJar(cookielib.CookieJar, collections.MutableMapping):

How can I avoid or fix this?

I think you may need to update your version of pipenv and perhaps other installed Python packages. See #5469.
