On win10 and mac osx 11.6.4(big sur) installation because of pathlib, note that pathlib is deprecated and not maintained according to https://pypi.org/project/pathlib/
there is another report on linux see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1962819
i am using
pip 22.0.3
Python 3.9.10

Hi @iulian0512 !
Thank you very much for the heads up. Fortunately for me, there exists a fork of pathlib called pathlib2.
This should do the trick. Anyway, it passes the tests, at least on Linux.
