Thanks for taking a look.
I have a clean installed AlmaLinux 8 machine and added the python3-pip, python3 and all dependencies installed. After that I want to install pyvmomi version 7.0.3 or 8.0.2 on to this system but on both versions I get the following error:
Command that i ran:
pip3 install ./pyvmomi-7.0.3.tar.gz
Result:
Processing ./pyvmomi-7.0.3.tar.gz
Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

tarfile.data_filter(member.replace(name=fn), location)
AttributeError: module 'tarfile' has no attribute 'data_filter'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Do I miss a package? And if so, how can I see in the error what package I miss? (Using a local repo I need to download the latest version on another machine and make it available on the local repo).
Thanks a lot.
See result comment of user: phd, that pointed me in the right direction of an incompatible pip version.
