TypeError: entry_points() got an unexpected keyword argument 'group'

I tried installing Orange on Zorin OS using these commands:

  sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5.qtsvg
  pip3 install PyQt5 PyQtWebEngine
  pip3 install pyqt5==5.15
  pip3 install orange3
  python3 -m Orange.canvas

And I'm getting this error:

stefan@glitch:~/dev/orange$ python3 -m Orange.canvas

Any ideas?

What version of importlib_metadata do you have installed (pip3 show importlib_metadata)?

[ales-erjavec]

Can you try pip3 install 'importlib_metadata>=3.6'
