Wrong pip version used

[timothee-dione-evooq]

Hi,
I try running this hook on Ubuntu 23.10, and when I launch the command "pre-commit run", I systematically get the following error:

ERROR: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-req-build-bolo7r0i/
WARNING: You are using pip version 19.1, however version 20.3.4 is available.

The point is the following:

• My current pip version is 23.2
• Furtermore, I tried running the command in a virtual environment where I especially updated pip version and the same error appeared following that thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77701033/should-i-install-pre-commit-into-a-python-virtual-environment-or-python-global/77705569#77705569. The result remained the same.

Does someone have an idea on how I can resolve it ?

Thanks

This isn't related to yamllint, this is a pre-commit issue. I would just pre-commit uninstall on the repo, and the uninstall and reinstall pre-commit with pip. If that doesn't work, find out how to get help from the pre-commit project.

The solution was to update virtualenv to the last version for my distribution (Ubuntu 23.10). The version could be found here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/virtualenv
