Hi, this error is from dependent package python-pptx and there is a similar issue: https://github.com/scanny/python-pptx/issues/750, which turns out to be a folder called "collections" in the same place where the command is called. Seems not a compatibility issue about python 3.10.

Hi, applying the "monkey patch" from scanny did the job. In /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pptx/compat/init.py add import collections.abc after the line import collections

My fault. This is indeed a compatibility issue of python-pptx with python 3.10. I'll update the package when this was fixed in python-pptx, at this time you should downgrade to python3.9 or patch it like above.

I do not suppose there is an update on this issue. 😅 Getting the same error as muralikodali.
