No module named 'past'

See original GitHub issue

Cookiecutter version: 1.7.0 (note: running cookiecutter -v doesn’t work)
Template project url: https://github.com/napari/cookiecutter-napari-plugin
Python version: 3.6.8 (v3.6.8:3c6b436a57, Dec 24 2018, 02:04:31)
Operating System: macOS Version 10.15.4 (19E258a)

Description:

The cookiecutter command-line interface does not work due to missing module named past.

What I’ve run:

What I ran:

python3 -m pip install cookiecutter  # successful
cookiecutter https://github.com/napari/cookiecutter-napari-plugin  # failed
cookiecutter -V  # failed
cookiecutter  # failed

All three of the lines that failed had the same error output:

We need to make a new release on cookiecutter, this would solve the issue. Sadly I did not get any feedback yet on https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter/issues/1337 which blocks me from making a release.
