How to install sklearn2pmml correctly in python?

I have been trying to install sklearn2pmml using pip pip install --upgrade sklearn2pmml==0.83.0 pip install --upgrade sklearn2pmml pip install sklearn2pmml python3 -m pip install sklearn2pmml

I have tried all variations to pip install command. But I am still getting the same error (shown below)

pip install --upgrade sklearn2pmml==0.83.0
WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

I have tried installing several versions. I have tried uninstalling py4j and then running it. Installing py4j's different version and the installing it.

Not sure why I am getting this error.

Has someone faced this issue before?

I have tried installing different versions of the package. I got the same error.

I was able to fix this issue by updating

/home/notebook/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/setuptools/_vendor/importlib_metadata/init.py

file. I replaced return re.sub(r"[-_.]+", "-", name).lower().replace('-', '_') with return re.sub(r"[-_.]+", "-", name).lower().replace('-', '_') if name else ''

I am not sure why but None was getting passed to normalize function.
