I notice earlier in this issue, people were mentioning "pkg-
resources==0.0.0", whereas I'm seeing "pkg_resources==0.0.0". That's
interesting.
Also, this "pkg_resources==0.0.0" seems to show up specifically when
installing a *different version* of pip -- not necessarily the *latest*
version. Here we see that it doesn't show up when installing new
versions of setuptools or wheel, but it does show up when installing an
old version of pip:
$ python3 -m venv temp_env && . temp_env/bin/activate
(temp_env) $ pip install -U setuptools

You are using pip version 9.0.3, however version 22.0.4 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
^ Only the very last `pip freeze` outputs "pkg-resources==0.0.0".
Also, uninstalling pkg_resources seems to permanently fix the issue:
$ pip install -U pip

^ So, after uninstalling pkg_resources, an installation of a different version
of pip no longer causes "pkg_resources==0.0.0" to appear.
