cannot import name 'html5lib' from 'pip._vendor' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_v

I use virtualenv to create a python virtual environment for my python project. I tried to create a virtual python3.10 environment using the following command. I could create venv successfully. But when run pip list command, it shows an error:

I use virtualenv to create a python virtual environment for my python project.

#command pwd #result /home/dhanusha/Documents/projects/my-project # command virtualenv --version # results virtualenv 20.10.0 from /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/virtualenv/__init__.py 

I tried to create a virtual python3.10 environment using the following command. I could create venv successfully.

# creating venv virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.10 venv # then, I could activate the `venv` environment successfully using the following command. source venv/local/bin/activate # after activation python version shows: python -V # results Python 3.10.1 # after activation pip version shows: pip -V #results pip 20.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.10) 

But when run pip list command, it shows an error:
