When i try to run the python script “psexec.py” it gives me this output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/psexec.py”, line 4, in
import(‘pkg_resources’).run_script(‘impacket==0.9.23.dev1+20210517.123049.a0612f00’, ‘psexec.py’)

It’s good practice to include more detail when asking for help/bug reports. Are you using a VM, PwnBx, Kali, or ParrotSec?
Anyway, check out this thread.
