Welcome to our community!

What does your code look like?

Glad to find feedback I really need in
It happends with no matter wich code is in. All begins when I try import next modules:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, RequestsHttpConnection
print('Hello, World!')

Maybe will be helpfull to note next notification I get when I boot PyCharm Community on, but it's pretty common issue most of my projects are not conflict with, so I do believe Elasticsearch don't mess with _JAVA_OPTIONS variable neither:

Another reason I think it definitely was not IDE variables is because same problem comes up on GuitHub almost a year ago with some browser-support python IDE, that use site-packages instead of dist-packages like Conda. There is no answer as well: https://github.com/Hironsan/bertsearch/issues/27

As I can guess problem is caused by the version of base64 module I am running, while the version of elasticsearch I installed dependent on a different version of base64 module. But I'm pretty sure I have last versions of both.

So am I suppose to downgrade something? I tried to let it go on different interpreters of python, and the only difference I got after using python bellow 3.9 is the output that elasticsearch module does not installed for such a low version. While in python 3.9 I have the output that base 64 undecodeble.
