Hi Junchao,
Getting a bit more "under the hood", could you please open a Python interpreter
on your kindle system and execute:
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution('avocado-framework')
It should return something like:
avocado-framework 68.0 (/tmp/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages)
Then, in the directory given under parenthesis, there should be a directory
named after the "distribution" name, and ending in In this case:
/tmp/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/avocado_framework-68.0.dist-info
Can you please check if this directory exists, and if you have a content
similar to:
$ ls /tmp/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/avocado_framework-68.0.dist-info
entry_points.txt INSTALLER METADATA RECORD top_level.txt WHEEL
Thanks,
- Cleber.
