I've been on MacOS using Python for a while and lately, when trying to execute MacOS's xattr, such as xattr -cr <file> I'm always getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/xattr", line 8, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

I've done a lot of research and tried reinstalling setuptools and pip, but I'm still getting the same error. I'd appreciate if anyone could lead me to a solution. Thanks in advance.

Doing a clean OS reinstall was the solution. – David Ariza May 05 '20 at 10:15
