I am getting this error every time I initiate firebase functions with python

python --version: Python 3.13.3

OS: window 11

pip --version: pip 25.1.1 from C:\Python313\Lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.13)

firebase-debug.log shows

Hi @aqibnawazdev

I believe I've seen this issue before. I imagine this would be a firebase-tools problem, but I'll have a look.

I fixed this issue by installing dependencies after initialization.

I can confirm, using the latest version of firebase-tools, I also receive this error on Windows. On Mac, I don't seem to have any issues.

I know there have been a lot of issues in the past with Windows, so perhaps this is just another one. Are you also using Windows?

For now, I will move this issue to firebase-tools, as I believe this is an issue there.

Yes, I am using window 11
