when running virtualenv command on terminal - python-3.x

Question

Thank you for your time.
I installed virtualenv on my mac using pip, but when I ran virtualenv env, it showed an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/virtualenv", line 6, in
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'importlib-resources>=1.0' distribution was not found and is required by virtualenv
Please help. I installed the latest packaghes of importlib but it still doesn't work.

Your stack shows 2.7 python.
your tag question as python-3.x
You indicated that you already have importlib.
But error is about importlib-resources.
Try to import importlib_resources:
importlib_resources is a backport of Python 3.9’s standard library importlib.resources module for Python 2.7, and 3.5 through 3.8. Users of Python 3.9 and beyond are encouraged to use the standard library module. Developers looking for detailed API descriptions should refer to the Python 3.9 standard library documentation.
