Fresh install not working on macOS #99

Just found yq and installed it on my mac via brew install python-yq. Unfortunately it is not working at all for me. With any file I get this error:

$ cat test.yaml | yq
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python-yq/2.10.1/libexec/bin/yq", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Could it have some unforeseen python pre-requisites? I am not a python user.

Can you paste the output of pip3 show setuptools and see if running pip3 install --upgrade setuptools fixes this issue?

The error you cited is related to a Python packaging toolchain installation issue, not to yq itself. If you need help, please provide the information requested.
