Hi @tanzhilangnw, I cannot replicate this error with:

> docker run --rm -it ubuntu:22.04

apt-get update
apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip
pip3 install virtualenvwrapper

This installs correctly.

Do you have a reproducer that we can investigate?

Thanks for help! I have solved the problem by uninstall virtualenvwrapper and install virtualenvwrapper.

I also see that you are using /home/xp/.local/lib/python3.5.

Python 3.5 is no longer supported by setuptools and most of the packages in the ecosystem.
This version of Python reached its end of life in 2020, so it is very likely to find errors when trying to use it.

Have you tried using a version of Python that is still supported, e.g. 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, etc?
