Dev Setup Error: Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader

[cdesch]

I'm following this quick setup tutorial for Ubuntu 16.04. On the step source ~/.bashrc, I hit this error:

cj@cj-VirtualBox:~/projects/indy-node/dev-setup/ubuntu$ source ~/.bashrc
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/stevedore/_cache.py", line 28, in <module>
    import importlib.metadata as importlib_metadata
ImportError: No module named 'importlib.metadata'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    "__main__", mod_spec)

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks.

If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader,
check that virtualenvwrapper has been installed for
VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 and that PATH is
set properly.

Has anyone seen this before?

It seems to be caught up here source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh and throwing this error regarding the python package.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/stevedore/_cache.py", line 28, in <module>
    import importlib.metadata as importlib_metadata
ImportError: No module named 'importlib.metadata'

Is there a list of python dependencies installed globallying or a virtualenv that need to be activated first?

Mainline code uses Ubuntu 20.04 now. Closing this.
