  Install Anaconda3 the instructions are [here](https://www.google.co.uk/m?q=conda%20creating%20an%20environment&client=ms-opera-mobile&channel=new&espv=1#). Then making sure you are connected to the internet type
  
  ```
  conda install -c anaconda biopython
  
  ```
  
  Once Anaconda is installed don't attempt to use `pip`, if you do then you need to set an 'environment' in Anaconda and work from that environment.
  
  I suspect you used `pip` or `pip3` via
  
  ```
  pip install biopython
  
  ```
