    Hi @ahmed salah ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
    You cannot use get_installed_distributions() directly after pip upgrade to 10.0. You can try the method in the link mentioned by NaomiNNN.
    You can use from pip._internal.utils.misc import get_installed_distributions. This should work, but this method is strongly not recommended.

    AttributeError: module 'pip' has no attribute 'get_installed_distributions'

    Here is a document that explains the reason for this error. See this pip document.
    Here is a similar thread please have a look: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5243
    After reading it, you will find setuptools (specifically pkg_resources) may be a good choice for you.

    Best regards,
    Seeya
