Error on importlib_metadata using python dash 2.16.1 and Python 3.9

Dash Python
1

Hi,

I tried to upgrade Python Dash to 2.16.1 on Python 3.9… as I can see in the dash code: dash/dash/dash.py at dev · plotly/dash · GitHub
dash uses importlib_metadata, and that causes this error for my code:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘importlib_metadata’

but based on importlib_metadata 7.0.3.dev0+g913352a.d20240307 documentation users are encouraged to use the Python standard library where suitable and fall back to this library for future compatibility, as follows:

try:
from importlib.metadata import version as _get_distribution_version
except ImportError:
from importlib_metadata import version as _get_distribution_version

any thoughts?
