Your virtualenv version (16.7.9) is not compatible with python 3.10.
Either use 16.7.11 or switch to the recent 20.14.1.

You'll have to manually upgrade virtualenv:

pip install --upgrade virtualenv==16.7.11

Omit version to simply install the latest (20.14.1)

Note that plugin will install virtualenv only if no virtualenv is installed (but not the latest version 20.14.1, see python.virtualenvVersion option)

Thanks. Clearing out the .local folder of all python libs also helped.
