pythonpipvirtualenv

Using moviepy fails due to "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._internal.utils.temp_dir'" SOLVED

These are the errors when I attempt to run my application:

Python 3.12.3 pip 25.1.1 from $HOME/.venvs/MyEnv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip (python 3.12)

How do I solve this? Please advise.

This is the upgraded pip version.

(MyEnv) xxx:~$ python3 -m ensurepip
Looking in links: /tmp/tmpuzkodgeh
Requirement already satisfied: pip in ./.venvs/MyEnv/lib/python3.12/site-packages (25.1.1)

This command was used to install moviepy:

xxx:~$ $HOME/.venvs/MyEnv/bin/python -m pip install moviepy SpeechRecognition pydub pysrt googletrans==4.0.0-rc1 gtts
