AttributeError: module 'pkgutil' has no attribute 'ImpImporter'

[mehmetcanay]

I tried to install the package into PDataViewer. The virtual environment uses python version 3.12.1 and pip version 24.1.2. I tried pip install --upgrade virtualenv and then virtualenv venv --python=python3.12 with and without --reset-app-data. However, this does not solve the issue. There is no error while installing with python3.11 so it is likely a problem with the python or pip version. I would be glad if you could inform me whether there is a way to mitigate this error without rolling back to python3.11.
