Checklist

• I have searched Superset docs and Slack and didn't find a solution to my problem.
• I have searched the GitHub issue tracker and didn't find a similar bug report.
• I have checked Superset's logs for errors and if I found a relevant Python stacktrace, I included it here as text in the "additional context" section.

The error you're seeing is due to Python version incompatibility. Based on your traceback (/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/), you're actually running Python 3.6, which is not supported by Apache Superset. Superset requires Python 3.10 or higher.

To fix this:

1. Upgrade to Python 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12
2. Set the FLASK_APP environment variable before running the command:

   export FLASK_APP=superset.app:create_app
   superset fab reset-password --username admin

If you're using Docker and seeing pkg_resources errors even on a supported Python version, you may need to install setuptools. For Superset 5.x Docker images, use:

uv pip install setuptools

For older Docker versions, add setuptools to docker/requirements-local.txt.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
