Visual Studio Code – ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'typing' – in my virtual env in vscode

I have created a virtual env in my vscode with the command:

conda create -p mlenv python==3.12 -y

activate my conda environment, then created a setup.py file and added 2 lines as below:

from setuptools import find_packages,setup
from typing import List

as soon a try to run it I’m getting the below error:

(/Volumes/Rooby/Training/end_to_end_ML/mlenv) Rooby@ Rooby-MacBook-Pro-2 end_to_end_ML % pip install --upgrade pip
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Volumes/Rooby/Training/end_to_end_ML/mlenv/bin/pip", line 7, in <module>
    from pip._internal.cli.main import main

    from typing import List, Optional
 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'typing'

I tried the commands as per someones suggestion: pip install –upgrade pip – still getting the same error:

After checking pip –version.
getting the same error:
