GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: Superset 5.x Upgradation fails to start
<!-- Answer --> Superset 5.x Docker images use a virtual environment managed by `uv`, so installing packages with `pip` in your container command doesn't put them in the environment Superset actually uses at runtime. That's why your `pip install setuptools` isn't making `pkg_resources` available to your config. To fix this, replace all your `pip install ...` commands with `uv pip install ...` in your Docker command. For your specific error, make sure to run `uv pip install setuptools` before starting Superset. This ensures `pkg_resources` is available when your config is imported. You can also add all your dependencies (including `setuptools`) to a requirements file and run `uv pip install -r requirements.txt` instead. This change is needed because Superset 5.x no longer includes `pkg_resources` by default, and the environment handling has changed.
