Error Description

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "datasploit.py", line 4, in
dep_check.check_dependency()
File "/home/jack/Documents/github-tools/datasploit/dep_check.py", line 11, in check_dependency
pip_list = sorted([(i.key) for i in pip.get_installed_distributions()])
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get_installed_distributions
Please provide the details of the error. Try to provide the output and also steps to reproduce (if possible).

If you cloned Datasploit, also provide the output of git log -n 1 --pretty=format:"%B".

The error is this line in dep_check.py:

pip_list = sorted([(i.key) for i in pip.get_installed_distributions()])

As per: pypa/pip#5243

Python recommends using pkg_resources.working_set from python-setuptools instead.

EDIT: Pull Request here: #269

Alternatively, you can add the following line: import pkg_resources
And replace pip_list = sorted([(i.key) for i in pip.get_installed_distributions()])
with pip_list = sorted([(i.key) for i in pkg_resources.working_set])
