Description

Describe what you were trying to get done.
I'm trying to use CV2 for my project and already have deployed it on Windows, now I'm trying it in Ubuntu system and it has installed all the support libs and requirements for face-recognition. Also tried installing in venv and with python3 -m and also with sudo apt.
Tell us what happened, what went wrong, and what you expected to happen.
I installed all the packages and everything while i was running '''flask run''' there is an error

I am facing the same issue. How can it be fixed?

[teroyks]

Installing setuptools into the virtual environment solved this issue for me.

pip install setuptools

The reason seems to be that the face_recognition_models package imports a function from pkg_resources, but that wasn’t included automatically.

@Palash-Doshi-Git would you consider re-opening this issue?

Added a PR to adjust requirements file, after I came across both ageitgey/face_recognition_models#21 & this issue.
