Answer 1

Module symbol was a part of the standard library since the dawn of time. It was declared deprecated in Python 3.9 and finally removed in 3.10. For Python 3.10 one has to upgrade any 3rd-party library that imports symbol. In your case the libraries are pip/setuptools:

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

If upgrade is not possible or there is no newer version of libraries updated for Python 3.10 the only solution is to downgrade Python.

I just reinstalled pip3 with the (official?) pip installer. Since then it worked again.
