pre-commit AssertionError: black requires Python 3.6+

Question

Running pre-commit gives the error AssertionError: black requires Python 3.6+. But Python 3.8 is installed. The version of pre-commit is 1.15.2.

Answer 1

Another installation of pre-commit (from Snap) was shadowing the correct one. Solved with these steps:

1. Remove the pre-commit installed with Snap: snap remove pre-commit.
2. Install it with Pip: python -m pip install pre-commit.
