Installing python-catkin-pkg on ros noetic

I cannot install python catkin pkg on my Ubuntu 20.04 with ros noetic installed. I keep getting this error. I have done the sourcing of setup.bash already.

Appreciate any help. Thanks.

It does tell you to what to do instead. Did you have issues installing python3-catkin-pkg?

Most everything newer has left Python 2.xx at this point.
