Hi, my meltano environment keep showing this error even on simple commands, I have reinstalled meltano and still problem is same. meltano, version 2.19.1 Do anyone have any idea about it?

Hi @Kashif Sohail! How did you install meltano? It's recommended to install meltano in a virtual environment so avoid dependency conflicts with other packages. https://docs.meltano.com/getting-started/installation/#install-meltano

I have installed it in a venv using pants.

Hmm, I'm not familiar with pants so I'm not sure how it handles virtual environments. Can confirm if other packages that are not dependencies of Meltano are installed by pants in that virtual environment? For example, some people install dbt alongside Meltano. That said, I still recommend installing Meltano in a way that ensures it lives in dedicated venv.
I mention that because that's the most common cause of the error you're seeing: https://github.com/meltano/meltano/issues/7895
